Hi there

Yesterday I noticed strange thing - security light lit up during driving, but not on full brightness, but barely visible. I stoped the car, turned ign off and turned back on, light appears again...

Today I start the car, security light comes back on but as I drove the car the light went brighter and brighter untill it was on at full (normal) brightness... I came to my destination, locked the car and after returning 4hours later and driving home - light is on, but very dim again...

another thing I noticed - security light turns on at the same time other lights (abs, trc, oil level and others) turn off when ignition is being turned on.

Other that that, car runs normal, locks and unlocks as usual, nothing is wrong except that darn led...

I am completely lost on this one...

Anyone ever had this kind of problem?

Water got somewhere? Last few days weather was quite good, sunny all the time with very little snow and no heavy rain or snowfall

Maybe bad ground to cluster itself? Since security ligh comes on as soon as others go off.

Help me on this one & share your opinion, please
Cheers

Maybe battery dieting in the alarm siren?

Or sit in the car, lock it (once) using the remote, then simply open the door
