Yes:
My 95 lwb flashed the requisite 3 times when arming, and locking. Flashed once when disarming/unlocking. Just like it's designed to do. Same as yours, I'd reckon.
The single flash-long duration-3 secs or so, signals that your fob/remote battery is on its' last legs. Get a new one at the local drug store, anyplace selling camera and calculator/watch batteries. A common size, $3.50 ea.
When I replaced the battery, it still did the 'long flash'. I was disappointed that it seemed to be permanent. BUT, lo and behold, in the OWNERS MANUAL is a key step in fitting fresh batteries:
With batteries REMOVED, DEPRESS the button, holding for more than 5 secs, then FIT the battery, close the fob. The holding of the button clears memory, and it will work perfectly the very next time. You do not have to do fancy reprogramming, or even be in proximity to the alarm when doing any of the procedure. Cheers- Happy Rovering, doug james |

DISCOWEB rocks!!!
Doug James, thank you. My lights would not flash either. Now they do.
I guess when all else fails read the owners manual.
Thanks Again,

I thought Rich Mountain was on the 18th after British Motorcar Day. At least thats what my schedule says. This weekend is supposed to be the European Invitational. |
