This is a new one to me. What does it mean?   Corey (Discobro) Senior Member Username: Discobro Post Number: 283 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 03, 2004 - 04:43 pm:    Did your alarm get set off recently? Anything out of the ordinary?   Jamie (Rover_puppy) Senior Member Username: Rover_puppy Post Number: 644 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Saturday, January 03, 2004 - 05:07 pm:    Start your engine and it should stop. That happens in mine when I accidentally set off the alarm - the flashing light won't stop until the engine is started.

It is the system telling you there was an alarm since it was last set. -Jim   Andrew Vick (Afv) Member Username: Afv Post Number: 64 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 03, 2004 - 09:37 pm:    We also see it when the battery gets low after shipping/sitting still for a few days.   Greg French (Gregfrench) Senior Member Username: Gregfrench Post Number: 663 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2004 - 08:38 am:    I don't think it was set off. It has been happening a lot lately. Battery seems good. Maybe just a Lucas thing.   Jamie (Rover_puppy) Senior Member Username: Rover_puppy Post Number: 652 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2004 - 09:50 am:    Greg, It has happened frequently to me too. It happens when I'm walking away from my truck and carrying too much stuff with my keys squished in whatever I'm carrying. I must inadvertantly hit the remote buttons wrong (or something). The audible alarm never goes off, just the flashing light. It's annoying because I have to reach in and start engine to get the flashing light to stop.
