Alarm Module for a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX

[Jim_P]

Hi,
I have an issue with the alarm module that is intermittently not causing the car to not wind over. When it's not working, if I hold the key in the start position and tap the alarm module box, the starter motor kicks in and the car starts. I am thinking possibly a sticky relay in the module.
The module part number is SAA5001 and appears it's difficult to find another one. I was going to see if I could reflow all the solder joints on the module's board first and then maybe look at replacing the onboard relays if that doesn't fix the issue.
I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue?

 

Kind Regards,

Jim
