blinking red light

[chrishandy28]

I know the blinking red light on the top center of dash is for alarm but I noticed the other day that it flashes when the car is unlocked, key out. Is this normal or is this a signal of something not right with the system? I still havent taken it to the shop for the reprogram and still won't start. But I just didn't know if this is normal or not. Our '99 volvo has the same kind of light on the dash but I believe it only blinks when the car is locked and alarm activated.

Hi,

This is normal. When you unlock the light blinks twice until you put the key in the ignition.

Thanks,
I'm just trying to rule out any signal that may help me fix it before I take it an hour away to the shop. I have an appointment on tue. with the indi shop, the closest thing to a dealer (GM dealer that used to have Saab's) is over 2 hours away.
Thanks again.
