Make sure the switches on the doors/trunk/hood are aligned correctly.

Do this: open a window then closethe doors and lock with the remote. Reach in to manually unlock the door with the open window. If the alarm goes off it's arming but not flashing. If the alarm doesn't go off the system is not arming.

If the lights are flashing on unlock but not on lock, the alarm isn't setting because it thinks a door (or hood or trunk) is open. One of the doors/hood/trunk switches isn't telling the computer all the doors are closed.

Like I said already, go get the switches looked at.

If that was the case, wouldn't an open door/trunk warning be lit on the instrument panel? Maybe not if it's the hood switch, that may be the first one to check. Well darn I answered my own question. :>

Yes, unless it's the hood.

What car? You never told us.

It's usually located near the passenger side strut tower.
