I might learn something new here, but...


I don't think there is a dash light for the trunk.

Where is this light, and what does it look like?

Well, since we don't have any dash lights that just "look like another light but aren't it", then that means that it's the security indicator light, which does indeed flash when you aren't in the car, keys out of the ignition.


Congratz, your car is working normal.
