PsychoB Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Guys picked up my little lady and currently sat in the car park as she won't start! She has sigma m30 and I can't get her to start. I've tried the override code but no joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoB Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Ok two hours and it turns out that the bonnet had to be up is this common? She is now running and I won't be switching her off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hi mate sorry about the late reply pretty tired today and had a Subaru meet yesterday :( If there is overhead power lines or some sort of high voltage lines around it's know to have a problem with the alarms :( Do you have a bonnet switch on it at all ?

Cheers anyway mate, not sure if I'm honest but I don't think we will go donington park now [emoji22]. We stopped to get something to eat and I let her idle for a few minutes and got out tried to set the alarm and .......nothing. So I got back in and she just completely refused to start? The keys opened the doors and turned ignition on but key fob wouldn't do anything? I found the manual override key and after several attempts (don't know why as it's only 6 digits) she started so I thought fair enough switched her off locked the doors manually and grabbed some food. Came back after eating and exactly the same thing happened so I thought I would take a look under the bonnet and while it was up the fob started working again. It was shall we say slightly worrying as this was only 30 min from paying, getting fuel and then going for food and I thought I had broken her already. Anyways all that aside the journey home was faultless averaged 30mpg (25 litres 130 miles, with still a bit left). Been out and about today seems ok but still wanna get her looked over just for peace of mind. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sure it's not the Battery in the fob playing up ? I wouldn't let that put you off coming plenty of time to try get to the bottom of the problem :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Might be the radio waves in the air at the time , but remember when you open it with the fob you got 30 seconds to start it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom163 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 When you open the car put the key in and turn to the ignition with the dash lights and then again hit the fob button.... You should see the LED near the clock flash once.... Then try and start the car. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
