Default Wrx not starting

Hi lads I have a 2003 wrx when I go to start it sometimes it won't start if you keep trying it will after a whileThe lights come on the dash but there no clicking sound from starter the fuel pump works when key on
I am wondering would it be the turbo timer or something else


I check all connections to battery and starter they all clean and tight




Any ideas????

Brant is the factory alarm system. The keypad you need to start the engine. They are reknowned for being a piece of shit that fail all the time.

Send it to your workshop for the starter to be checked first.

Or if you know what to do, just put battery power direct to starter and see if she turns the engine over.
