For those of you who dont know, but for the few months Ive had issues with starting my car, more specifically, the fuel pump wouldnt start/prime on turning the key.
I had checked plenty of things, and it was diagnosed by Subaru initially, was the Alarm module. Which I had checked by an independant auto electrician (brother), who said nothing was wrong.
Eventually, when I got the car serviced, it was re-diagnosed as the keypad module (long story on how they get it wrong the first time)
Anyways, Subaru wanted $250 for the module, said it HAD to be replaced. My brother had a look, and REPAIRED it. Now it works sweet.

So, if anyones having issues with the system, just a suggestion, it might be cheaper to repair it than replace the system/module(s).

And for the few that know about the problems Ive been having......bout time I fixed it hey??

I had the same problem......
F&*( key pad....I came out alot worst
$600 bucks

Alarm module + wiring harness + labour =

Wangara Subaru mate for ya!!!...Pissed but I can finally drive the car

i mean im sure its nice havin it fixed dude, but i liked the whack the bastard till it runs theory it makes for much needed stress relief lol

hehe yeah, it had its good side, although, I did get some funny looks from people who saw me beating the crap out of my dashboard.

just curious what exactly failed in the keypad/immobiliser box?

the alarm module.... the thing that keypad is connected to and also the harness for the wiring loom that goes to it.....

In my case, it ended up being dodgy connections. They were all re-soldered and yay for me

aah cool. I noticed that all my brant wiring was all just twisted together so i did it all properly with solder and heat shrink and has been fine since. My fuel pump wouldnt come on after a short shut down

Yeah, when my brother and I were pulling the dash appart checking stuff, he commented on the very poor installation/wiring for the brant system.

Does your brother still fix these? I havent driven mine in so long it aint funny. Is there anyway it could be done without taking it in?
