Alarm lights don't flash
 
Having issues with the alarm. When I arm/disarm the alarm the lights don't flash. All the lights work normally when driving just not with the alarm. I was going to take out the alarm module and see if there's a stuck relay inside but thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks!

Scan the alarm function with a PIWIS or Durametric system to see if it is working properly.

Try setting the alarm with the trunk open or the oddments tray and see if it beeps the horn (letting you know that the car is not secured) Do the doors lock as well?

I do have an open switch somewhere as the horn beeps a bit after i arm the alarm. it locks and unlocks no problem. lights just don't flash.

Again, scanning the car will tell you where the alarm fault is (the system stores the last ten faults). Fix the problem and the alarm will work again............
