FL Symbol on dashboard flashing

Changed the battery in my 2006 rx8 key fob. I have the flat key fob. Now when I turn my ignition off the light with the symbol on the dashboard of a "car with a key in the middle" flashes like every second or two. When I start the car it turns off. Is this a warning light or just a deterrent light that flashes?

I never specified what era I believed it originated in.

Give a man the answer and you've made him dependent on you.
Teach a man how to get his own answers and you've made him a better man.

Of course, we can lead a horse to water, etc.

What crap. Sometimes you need an answer fast, as in right now. A "better man"? Try a pissed off man. I have given direct answers to specific questions - many that have been asked repeatedly - here for over 10 years now, and will happily continue to do so.

It's called "helping".

He claimed to have read the manual. I don't really believe him because if he had, he'd have found the answer to his question on page 5-43.

He was either lying or in ineffectual human. In either case, I'm not beholden to his sense of entitlement. He can improve himself or not but he should get used to a universe of cold heartless truths.

This thread is not the type of community that we want around here.

Try and be helpful, and turn the other cheek if possible

I am going to leave it here for an example of what will not be condoned in the future
