security light question 99 max
Coming home from work today i noticed my security light was on and staying on. I'm assuming that it shouldn't be on when the car is running since this was the first time i noticed it and I've had the car almost 5 years. I didn't get a chance to check into anything, I searched here and didn't find anything relating to it either. The car starts fine, runs fine etc, the only problem i ran into is for the last couple of days my cd player (clarion, not oem) has shut off and turned back on randomly. I don't care about the light being on I just dont want to ignore it if it is a sign of possible problems. Maybe it's supposed to on and i just never noticed Appreciate any input. thanks

Shouldn't be on once the car has been started. You have a 99 - I believe they modified the security system that year to include the chipped-keys and such.
It would be a safe guess to assume that your security system is not working as intended, i.e. immobilizer may not work, alarm may not sound...

It should only stay lit when you first arm your alarm (30 seconds). I would say try to set your alarm off. Leave the window down and then lock and shut the door. Wait 30 seconds and stick your hand through the opened window and unlock the door. Then open the door to see if your alarm goes off. Then try to start it. Try that if you want then tell me what happens.

went out tonight and the light was off and seemed like all was functioning well. I don't know if it was just some freak thing or what, i guess i'll just keep an eye on it. but if anyone has any experiences similar let me kno

I bought a used 99 GLE a year ago and my light never goes off. It does appear to blink and my alarm will work when tested so I haven't worried about it. It is rather annoying at night, though having that bright red light on all the time! Anyone have any suggestions?
