LED Started flashing
Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:56 pm
The little red LED above the black central vents in the console surround has never flashed before.
I believe it should flash to show that the alarm is working and though the alarm does work (I set if off the other week by accident) the light has never flashed.
Today I removed the small panel the light is in and took out the board with the led and the resistor on, then put it all back together. Curiosity was the reason.
Well tonight I took a quick drive to a relative's and when I came out to the car to come home a noticed the LED was flashing. It stopped as soon as I unlocked the doors and only started up again once I'd locked up after getting home.
Have I inexplicably fixed the alarm LED or does it indicate something is wrong? As it's flashing quite quickly as the Video I took shows. The only other thing I did on the drive was to switch on the heated seats to see for certain if the passenger one works, which it does.
