Guy's,

I have an MY02 WRX and have just got over to the in laws to find that now when I remove the key from the ignition there's a flashing red key sign on the dash. It's just flashing intermittently every 2 secs or so. As I don't have the Owners manual with me can anyone please tell me what this means?

Cheers

And Happy Xmas

Andy

Jpor,

That's what I initially thought but have had the car over a year now and have never seen this happen before?

Even after I close the door and lock / arm the alarm / immbobiliser it continues to flash and this has deffo never happened before?????

S'alright. At least you weren't posting about your sidelights being stuck on all the time.
