Bimble7116 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hoping some of you learned fellas on here can prevent me booking an appointment with a shrink...! My Leg - unusually is playing up - all on its own, the alarm/immobiliser is trying to keep the car confined to workshop...?! I’m in U.K and due to take the car to Belgium and Holland next week - tonight was the last bit of prep work, but nothing more elaborate than changing front and rear differential oil. The car unlocked as normal on the fob button, I left the key in the ignition whilst I did the diff oil changes. An hour later I turned the ignition on - the lights came on as normal but the alarm went off. Tried to stop it using the key button - no joy. It sounded for a minute or so then stopped - tried the key button again, key in ignition - alarm sounds. Pressing the key button, the indicators flash but the door locks do not respond - the little red light on top of the steering column continuously flashes and so does the red key symbol on the dash - no matter how many times I press the key button. A few times whilst trying to reset the alarm, the car made 5 or 6 measured beep sounds - which I took to be it re-setting itself - made no difference. After several more attempts - with frustration mounting to dangerous levels - I disconnected the battery and shut the workshop door on it. Please can anyone offer advice/Intel/suggestions about how to deal with this irritating snag? Im finding it hugely frustrating that the alarm system has spooked itself all on its own - just like that!...???????? Any help gratefully received.

Bimble7116 Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Thanks for the responses fellas - slightly embarrassed at the key information omission. It’s a 2006 Outback H6 - going to have another look today. With best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimble7116 Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Update - calm restored - turned out to be the car’s battery spontaneously going duff. It took me a while to realise - I was off on a tangent thinking it was something much more involved! Despite the frustration and angst - it’s much more preferable that the car did this now, rather than when the ferry arrived in France on Thursday. Philosophy - an under-rated pastime!
