Indicator Lights Flash on Unlock, But Not on Locking
 
So recently I have noticed my indicator lights will flash for two seconds when unlocking 'ole Landy, but will no longer flash three times when locking. I used to think it was so badass when it flashed like that and now I miss it. Any ideas why it stopped doing it?

Btw, my alarm is all shot-to-**** so I can only lock/unlock from the driver's door or the entire alarm will go off. But like I said, it definitely used to flash when I locked it, but has stopped.

Any ideas? I did a search and found nothing.

Here's test procedure for the alarm unit:

BUILT IN TEST PROCEDURE
The built in test procedure is accessed as follows:
1. Starting conditions: ignition off, doors unlocked,
alarm disarmed, bonnet switch depressed.
2. Carry out instructions 3 to 7 within 2 seconds.
3. Release bonnet switch.
4. Switch ignition on.
5. Open driver’s door.
6. Switch ignition off.
7. Switch ignition on.
If alarm is correctly accessed, the horns will sound
briefly and the Theft Alarm LED and hazard lamps

will flash. The following checks can then be made:

1. Open and close driver’s door or tailgate – Theft
Alarm LED and Hazard lamps will flash.
2. Depress and release bonnet switch – Theft
Alarm LED and Hazard lamps will flash.
3. Pull the driver’s door sill button up – Theft alarm
LED and Hazard lamps will flash.
4. Turn driver’s door key lock cylinder – Theft Alarm

LED and Hazard lamps will flash.

Alarm module directly controls those lights. And I think you must use driver door to disarm system.

Alright, I took a quick look at performing that procedure. But it's wet, Landy's muddy so I got tired of re-closing the hood and getting mud all over me. After a nice bath tomorrow for her I'll get back at it.

Hopefully, this will be like a "reset" so it will start flashing again. Also, after successfully doing that, lights should flash when popping hood, opening doors, opening tailgate, etc? Seems excessive
