Do all the doors and the trunk lock securely? The alarm only engages when car is fully locked. Make sure all your latches are secure.

BTW, I am sure you already knew that the light does blink for the first 30 seconds after you lock all doors before turning off.

actually it blinks only if one of the 'zones' is open
if you lock the car and shut the door, the SECURITY light should stay on solid for 30 seconds and then the system is armed

if it's always blinking, it thinks one of the sensors is open (one of the doors, hood, or trunk), check those switches to make sure they're working
