jazzydog Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hi everyone, I am new here but have owned several Subaru's in the past, and I just bought another one (2003 Forester XT) which seems to have an alarm issue I need to fix - can anyone help? I collected the car (bought from auction) and everything was fine except it needed a jump start (oh oh!) when I got it home everything was fine except the tailgate would not unlock remotely. The next day (yesterday) I thought I would take a look, all the doors were unlocked?? and the alarm went off when I tried to start the engine, the key button seems to have no effect with either of the two keys. I disconnected the Battery to save my ears, left it for a couple of hours and re-connected the Battery and immediately the alarm went off - again no effect from either key button. Is there a fault, a way of resetting the alarm, do I need to change Battery in the key, or am I doing something really stupid? Any help greatly appreciated....

Jay762 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Wotcha and welcome - we have a thread on here about resetting the Sigma M30 alarm system. Try this - also are you close to an antenna? http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2378-sigma-m30-pre-my00/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 As Jay has said above I'd have a look at the other post hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzydog Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks for the reply guys, I'll take a look at the previous thread, as soon as the Battery is connected the alarm goes. The remote key does work as it switches the red light on the dash on or off when you press the key Derrr ?? No, not near an antenna Jay< I guess you are thinking of interference? Anyhow i'll try the solution from the previous thread tomorrow Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
