We have recently purchesed an my99 classic for the missus and it is fitted with the dealer fit sigma alarm (the one with subaru branded fobs) can you set it so the indicators flash on arming and disarming? I can hear it clicking like it should be doing this!! Cheers

 

The all do must be an alarm fuse

Ian

 

I thought it should. Will check it out in a bit. Cheers

 

Hey mate

Iv got a sigma system on mine, i think the indicators illuminat for a short period when i un lock and then flash something like 4 times when i lock...

 

Had a quick nose but can't find any, where will they be hiding??

 

have u got the seperate manual for the sigma? If not ill have a look through mine and see if i can find anything that might be helpful...

 

I don't think we have. If you wouldn't mind that'd be great

 

anyone

 

totally forgot i was gonna have a look in my book for u mate...ill go get it now!

 

Hmmm iv had a read through the seperate book for the alarm that i have, it doesnt seem to mention anything about being able to set whether the indicators flash or not.....it just says that they will flash when arming/disarming...

 

Hey Andy, I've just clicked with the username

Enjoying Scooby ownership?

Must be a fuse/connection issue then as I can hear the alarm clicking when arming/disarming but no lights flash

Hi blu-scoob, for many years now i have been fitting alarms and only work on jap stuff, over the past 5 years or so i have noticed that depending on who fitted the alarm (in-house or private company), some had everything wired in including fuses, and some were fitted so poorly i could bump start the car and drive off, as for your problem mate,

remove the lower panel above ur knee, have a look at the ignition loom there you should see where the fuses for the alarm should be, taped into it, there should be 2, 1 is a 5amp that is the power for the alarm the other should be 15 or 20, that is for the indicators, if there are no fuses, then the alarm box is a silver/gold looking item it will be screwed in the area of the fuse box or inside the metal brace the knee panel bolts too, follow the looms some will go to the ign loom and some will go down towards the kick panel, a bit of a mission but if you really need to know if there wired up or not arm the alarm wait 30 seconds and open the drivers door via turning the key in the lock, if they flash there wired up and it is down to the alarm if they don't flash then either the fuse has gone or there just not connected............hope this is understandable long day lol

Mark, your a star, exactly the type of answer I've been looking for. I'll get under there tomorrow and have a nose. I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks

 

no worries

 

Hey Mark,

I've found the main power connection on the back of the fusebox.

Is it the yellow wires from the Sigma alarm that trigger the indicators. If so one is connected to a black with a green tracer and the other to a green(?) with a black tracer. No fuse on either though.

Cheers Trev.

 

yeah there the indicators, do they flash when u trigger the alarm, if not then i would say summat up with alarm, as what ever the programming is they will falsh on full trigger,

 

Sorted it hadn't realised that the indicators had they're own supply, assumed (wrongly) they got input from the alarm. Anyhoos the fuse had blown, replaced it and bingo they now flash!!
Cheers for your help

Check your fuse!! You need to remove the panel that sits under the steering column and trace the alarm wires back until you find a fuse holder with a 15amp fuse. Mine was taped to the loom behind the fuse box. If its blown, hopefully like me replacing it will sort the problem

 

told ya bud, glad u soerted it

 

Top man, thanks will have a look tomorrow

 

and thanks too P600 for the reply as well!

 

My car has the same alarm and same "no indicator" issue - I found the inline 15amp fuse thanks to your thread, but its fine (replaced it anyway) and still no indicator flash.....

Any other ideas chaps?

 

I'd check that the 15amp fuse has a supply to it, if it does then try tracing the two yellow indicator trigger wires that run from the control unit, to see if they are (or not) connected.

btw can you hear the unit clicking when arming and disarming? (one long click for unlock and four quick clicks to arm)
