I just bought a 2006 F150 FX4 and the is a red blinking light to the upper right of the headlamp switch. It blinks twice then off for a few seconds and does this over and over again. I have no idea what it is and wondering if any of you would know or how to find out.

Thanks.

 

does it blink while the truck is on or off?? I'm guessing but security maybe?:santa:

 

Its the pats system. (the chip in your key)

 

i figured it was similar to the "theft" that flashes on my dash!!

 

Sounds like you have a aftermarket alarm system. I have the factory light up by the windshield and then another one by the far left vent.

 

I have figured out what the light is.

It is the PowerCode Technology dash status indicator. It was blinking twice because it was in Service/Valet mode. That was also the reason why my remote start did not work and the alarm would not arm.

I took it out of service mode and everything started working. I bought it on Monday night without me or the dealership knowing it has remote start.

Pretty good find!

Thanks for the replies!

 

sweet, something they didn't charge you for!
