kleggo Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 car = 2004 outback wagon issue = as of today my security light ( the one under the speedometer ) is flashing in pulses of two repetitions. i.e.; flash flash.......... wait a second..........flash flash.....etc this only occurs when the key is not in the start or run position. any time the key is off, or out of the switch it flashes. other associated behavior = i've turned off the annoying " chirp " to signal lock engage / disengage, but now the parking lights don't flash to signal same. no mention in the manual of what the two pulse flash means. it seems to have occured with me having tried to lock the doors / set the alarm when the tailgate was still open. I've cycled the doors / locks several times and have tried disconnecting the battery, but the flash flash persists. any ideas on how to reset this? thanks craig carlsbad ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-check your manual or try looking up some of the model specific alarm info at http://www.cars101.com . Of course, someone here may chime in that has the same vehicle as you and experienced the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't caused me any problems. I just listen to the door locking noise when I push the buttons. BTW I hate the honky light flashy thingy.

Suzam Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hey Cannonball, if you haven't already, you can disable the honk. Just hold both buttons on your remote until it honks at you. Repeat to reset. I'm not sure if it matters that the driver's door is open or not. Try it both ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
