Question Blinking Blue Light under the Dash

I'm not home, my "better half' calls and says there is a blinking blue light under the dash on the right side above the gas pedel on the 2011 ES350. The car is turned off, in the garage, and its blinking. Anyone know what this might be?

Your thinking tire pressure or skid control? Aren't those on the dash. She says this is under the dash and its blinking rapidly. Still on after an hour or more, blinking with the car turned off and doors all closed, under the dash above the gas pedal. I was thinking maybe a shorted courtesy light or something. She said it first came on when she opened the door to drive home before starting the car. It stayed on all the way home and is still on (blinking on).

Is your car a pre-owned? Maybe something aftermarket installed by a previous owner, like an alarm system?

Friend of mine had a remote starter on his car that had an LED that would blink constantly. His was positioned on his windshield (the remote antenna) and would light the interior of the car up. By chance does your car have an aftermarket remote starter on it?

Maybe a runaway Bluetooth earpiece?
