Key light blinking on dash panel
 

The key light Icon on the dash keeps blinking even though the alarm isn't set. It goes off when I start the motor. Any thoughts appreciated. Mark.

Key light....
 

Any time the ignition is off, the 'anti-theft' (key chip) system is on.

Does that mean the light will keep blinking?

Yes.
 

Forever.

Better get used to it!

I'm used to it already Thanks.

It scares off miscreants.

Thanks for this quick thread! Just the other day I just noticed my "key" light blinking after turning off the ignition. I was going to mention it to the dealership when I went in for service next week, but you saved me from looking like an idiot!
