Security Indicator
Anyone ever had the security indicator flashing while the key is removed? The only time I've ever seen this light on is when I first turn the key in the ignition. The manual mentions that it should go off after the car is started, which it does. But mentions nothing about it being on and flashing with the key removed.

“The security indicator light in the instrument panel flashes every 2 seconds until the system is disarmed.” (Owners manual.)
Make sure all doors, hood and particularly the trunk are shut tight. If the light still doesn't blink as indicated in the manual, take the car to a Mazda service facility to have it checked.

Here's a stupid question on this topic? What does the alarm do? I've tried arming it and then attempting to open doors, shake car, etc. but I don't get any alarm. Is there no audible deterant? Or am I not properly arming the system?

leave your window down. close the doors and lock/arm the alarm with the key fob. reach thru the open window and pull the inside handle to open the door- do this inside your garage for the full effect.

So here's the problem that caused the concern for me. The light was never on previously when the key was removed. So, with it's sudden appearance, I thought something was wrong. It still appears that I need to take the car in to the dealer because nothing says it should be flashing with the key removed and the alarm not armed.
