I changed the battery without backing up the system and now I am immobilised!
I press the button on the key fob but the redc light just flashes and the ignition light doesn't come on.
There's nothing in the Sigma booklet about the immobiliser . I've got the code for the alarm and rentered it, no difference. How can I get the van going, any ideas, we are away next weekend for 2 weeks- I hope!
Have you tried setting the alarm on. Wait 30 seconds switch alarm off then try to start.
Had to do this several times earlier this year, it, now, seems to have cured itself.

We had a similar problem and contacted the alarm system manufacturer/installer* who advised us that there should eb a keypad somewhere, probably in the glovebox - there is. He also advised how to find the code - obviusly I'm not about to divulge this on forum, but if you find such a keypad I can PM the info to you.
* I am surprised how often I read postings on here from purchasers of second hand vehicles who don't seem to have any manuals or paperwork relating to retrofits etc. Each of the three used 'vans we have bought have had folders with the original handbooks and full documentation on all additions, accessories, and so on. These folders have always been added to whenever we have changed or added anything so we can pass this on when the 'van is sold or PXd. We wouldn't consider buying a 'van without this.

I´m not really as paranoid as everyone thinks I am
I've got the code, I know where the key pad is, I've inputted the code. The alarm beeps as its setting. the problem is the immobilser won't reset. The rest of the system does.
You may find the Sigma alarm is not connected to the vehicle immobilizer
This is the case on my Merc Sprinter based MH
May be worth checking the vehicle manual to see if there is a factory fitted immobiliser with different instructions for a start up after immoboliser triggered. A general point to note is that when resetting most electronic devices it pays to wait a while for the device to reset.
(NB not the case if resetting Sigma Keypad code when forgotten and a radio key allows you to reset the keypad code as detailed on the other post I've made)
