    Flashing red triangle

    Locked the coupe from passenger side tonight
    As its dark first time I've noticed a flashing triangle behind a fog light switch on the dash
    Factory alarm horn sounds to indicate locked
    Doesn't happen when locking drivers side
    Is this normal? I ve never seen it before!

      As above, its a basic immobiliser circuit. It only comes on when it senses the car was locked by a key in the door. The fact it dosent work on your drivers side suggest the microswitch on the barrel isnt working.

          Is it the fog or the hazard switch that flashes? - mine will arm if locked from the drivers side but not if locked from the girls side (passenger)
