Is it possible to turn off the indicator flash when arming/disarming on a standard wrx 2001 alarm? (i think its a sigma) (it has a blue key fob)

thanks

Because its been playing up for a couple of weeks . occaionaly when i arm/disarm the system, the o/s indicators stay on permanantly, and its getting more frequent and more difficult to get it to go off..

Hi mate, sounds like you need a new alarm ECU. If the indicator is staying on its for longer periods that is.

I had exactly the same problem with a Sigma M30 fitted to my VW Corrado. A new ECU will be IRO £90+vat from a dealers, and you can't get them anywhere else as the M30 was replaced by the S30 some time ago. The 2nd alternative I considered was a new S30 fully fitted with 2 year warranty for £220. In the end I cut the wire to the faulty indicator and attatched it to the one which still works and fitted a diode in each to prevent all the indicators flashing at once when turning. Total cost 34p Maplins help desk will be able to tell you which diodes you will need if you tell them it's for a car, 12V and to go to 5W indicator bulbs. If you find the alarm ECU, the 2 indicator wires are yellow and go to terminals 16+17 IIRC.

HTH, for further assistance put up a post in Security for Sigma Sam. He was very helpful to me.
