Blinking red security light -- am I losing it?
Hey guys. I've searched, but can't find the answer. Can someone tell me if the little red security light on the dash to the left of the steering wheel (next to the dimmer dial) is supposed to blink when the doors are unlocked and the alarm is off? I mean, I know my memory may not be the greatest (at least that's what my wife says), but I'm in and out of the car every day, and for the life of me, I don't ever remember seeing that light blinking unless the doors are locked and the alarm is armed. Can someone go check their car and let me know?
The reason I'm a little concerned is because I pulled the ECU-B fuse for 45 minutes yesterday, and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Thanks.

That's what I thought. Does anyone have any ideas as to why pulling the ECU-B fuse would cause the alarm light to blink with the doors unlocked? I've pulled the fuse several times in the past, and I don't recall this ever happening. Is there a way to reset the system? There must be.

So I'm not alone. Interesting. Does it ever stop blinking? In other words, I left my car unlocked last night, and the light was still blinking when I got back in it this morning even though I never locked the doors. The alarm seems to be working just fine (when I lock it, the light goes solid for a minute or two and then starts blinking again to let me know that the system is armed).

I tried to program a new master key which I purchased off eBay. I messed up the first time, and after that time, something happened with my security light. From now on, no matter how many times I tried programming my key, even if I do everything perfectly, it does not program. As for the security light. When key is not in ignition, and doors are unlocked, light blinks, if doors are locked, light is solid red and does not blink. I do not think it's supposed to be like that. Any way to reset it? Thanks for any help.
