Hi all, I have had this issue for a while now and it is really starting to get to me. I have an 05 wrx wagon and when I hit the lock or unlock button on my keyless remote, the lights dont blink anymore, and it wont chirp either, even when i hold the buttons and what not to make it work according to the script on the reverse side. I checked all FUSES in engine bay and in fuse box in the cabin but nothing is blown, are there any relays I am not aware of? or has anyone else encountered this problem? HELP PLEASE THIS IS ANNOYING!!!!!!

my girl had the same problem with her 07 wagon.take it to the dealership and get it reprogramed and should be fine after that......if not sorry could'nt help.

Is the security light on the dash flashing constantly in a "blink-blink-pause" pattern? If so you've put the system in valet mode. To get it back to normal, hold down the unlock button on the remote for a few seconds with the drivers door open.

aaahahahahaa ITS ALIIIVEEE!!! thanks, but it still doesnt chirp:( it hasnt chirped for longer than when i guess i put it in valet mode...??..

It's possible the piezo beeper has gone bad, this is a known issue on the 04/05's. The beeper is located up front by the radiator, they tend to die probably from the combination of engine heat, dirt, water etc.

yep..mine chooses when to actually chirp...there was a thread not too long ago with a whole bunch of people with 06-07 models not having the chirp being able to function all the time either..i plan on upgrading my alarm eventually

damn, not even worth trying to replace, maybe ill dismantle and clean, thanks for the help guys!! i have rallied through some treacherous terrain in this suby...

I have the same problem with my 05 wrx. I'm gonna give this a try in the morning. Hopefully it'll go back to normal, if not, its no big deal. Thanks for the tip though.

so does this idea work on all models... cause i thought that the valet mode was supposed to go away... or do you have to turn valet mode on and off?

After 2 and a half years of having my STi I finally have flashing lights on my car when I lock or unlock now, w00t!! Oh yeah my chirp mode decides when it wants to work for me as well. I like it when it does not, a few of my neighbors have Toyota's and Lexus' and they have the same beep, so yeah no chirp is good alternative for me :)
