Default HELP NEED CAR WONT START....

guys took the car for a wash today , got in to drive away and the fob didnt unlock the door nor once i was inside the car turn the imobiliser off so i could start the car, first i thought the key fob battery had gone so i changed that, but still nothing, i get ignition lights and you can here the fuel pump priming up but it wont crank over, iv also noticed that the led light next to the clock is not lighing up either or flashing like it used too. iv not got a code for the overide computer thing.. its a 2004 wrx impreza any ideas before i get it towed away.. possibly someone said it may be the imobiliser ecu has died. .. im more gutted that there is snow forecast and i would even consider by passing it or removing the imob to play in the snow iv waited all year for

It's just in a black spot mate for the alarm fob to work. Push it up the road and it will kick back into life again. Or if you know the code enter it to arm the alarm and then enter it again to disarm. All with ignition off and then away you go again. Stupid sigma alarms I'm afraid.

Used to happen too me in the shopping centre car park, something affects it and had to use the code, get it pushed like said above away from source of interference and it should disarm.

It won't try and start with a sigma alarm. The immobiliser is on the starter circuit. You still get all dash lights when it's immobilised.
