Help please - Car won't start


Greaver

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

As per the title my 2003 BH5 E-Tune Legacy won\'t start

Dash lights come on, Fuel Pump primes, but it wont turn over not even a click.

At which stage I notice there is a flashing LED on the dash, and remember there is a aftermarket horn under the bonnet.

Basically I used the standard Subaru key my car came with (the only one, the dealer wouldn\'t get me a second regardless of my haggling) since I bought it and I noticed that unlocking/locking from the remote could be intermittent - assuming it was a flat battery in the remote I just used the key to lock and unlock it for the last two months because we have a dog tied within biting range of the car until I got around to sourcing a battery.

Which brings me to last night when my partner thought the cr was unlocked and tried opening it twice, she said it was beeping at her, and I didn\'t think anything of it till today when I tried to start it.

I have pulled the key apart to put the new battery in with no luck, the electronics are in great condition no sign of blown anything and it hasn\'t had a drop of water since I have owned it.

Does anyone know how I can find out what type of alarm I have? I am assuming it is just the immobilizer stopping me from starting it.

If anyone has any ideas or can help I would greatly appreciate it my other car is off the road atm so this is my partner and I\'s only vehicle arm -_-

Will update with pics etc shortly but when I open the car doors the indicators go like you have unlocked it, but a couple of times have spazzed out and flashed a bunch of times.

The more I think about it the less sure I am that its an aftermarket alarm system so I will post pics.

Video of weird flashing in the car - note the indicators are also flashing with it and the clicking is coming from the steering wheel/dash area.

Pictures of inside the key transponer the the exterior, if they are of use to anyone

So I was like shit I wish I wasn\'t a tight arse and payed the extra $30 a year for states road side assistance and towing.

Then I rung them and it seems I can add it whenever I want so the Legacys sitting at Anything Auto Eectrical awaiting some love.

I need this tuck standard : D

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
