hmm, alarm. when the alarm gets activated or turned off, the parking
lights blink. sounds like this could be the culprit. what module would
i be looking at that may go bad?
thanks,
ziv

Small black box usually under the dash l/s behind the lower cover? you will
see the alarm wires going to it, they will appear different than the cars
wiring. Or disconnect the wire that is tapped into the park lites and see if
it corrects the problem.
