Out of the blue - Security Light?

I have had my car for almost a year now and never have seen this before. I went to lock my doors manually since I don't have an alarm and saw it light up green. I proceeded to unlock the doors manually and nothing happened, the light just went away. No flashing, nothing.

Anyone care to gander what is going on? I know my power locks haven't been working either. I really wanted to install an aftermarket alarm /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

Well the car does have a factory alarm. If the light hasn't gone out yet it hasn't actually armed yet if I recall correctly.

That light will come on every time you lock & close the doors so long as the etacs system is hooked up. if you want an aftermarket alarm follow the "disable alarm" thread in the how to section.

Interesting. The reason I find it wierd is that I have locked the doors manually using the key before but have never seen that green light.

This car is so strange when it comes to the power locks/security/horn situation. I might have to run new wires especially for the horn.
