laythor

open your trunk and then shut it firmly

could also be the hood of the car, check that also

you the wires could be unplugged?

Open the trunk and see if you can spot any connectors. Whether or not you do, close the trunk firmly and see if the lights will blink.

i checked the hood and the trunk all the connectors are connected and everything closed firmly but the lights still dont flash, could there be anything else?

turn on the key, close the doors see if the door open light still on?

elijha2010

it turns off when i close all the doors

when the lights dont blink it means your alarm is not arming. that usually means one those items are not latched closed properly. something is either bad at the contact points or perhaps you alarm really has failed. take it to the dealer.

have you changed any electronic or electrical components recently? battery, lights , stereo/amp/speakers ?

elijha2010

could be that my alarm has failed, but i havent changed anything recently

finally fixed it, it was a small metal piece in the hood latch that broke off
