That red "theft" light that blinks all the freakin' time. Is it just a turnoff? I think criminals would figure that they all have one and they do NOTHING!

Tim37

it is part of the passive anti theft system. basicaly it has to do with the chip in your key. but yeah for the most part its just there for looks.

No, I don't think "all criminals know Stangs have anti-theft keys"..

Do you know all the OTHER brands/models of cars on the market that also have anti theft keys??

dan

shhhhhh!

Well, even if I put my key in there it blinks until the car is turned on.

It doesnt seem to bother me. If you dont like it blinking, pull the bulb. Very simple

It doesn't bother me either, I was just wondering if there was something "special" to it. Otherwise I was just wondering what the point was.

Its just basicially to let a thief know that the car has some kind of anti theft system on it. Same thing as the flashing light they put in your car after getting a aftermarket alarm installed. Warns the thief before they proceed to take your car.

Mine stays on all the time, doesnt even blink. Kind of annoying when the cars off at night and you are sitting in it.

Really! Thats odd, never heard of that. That may be a sign that the anti theft system isnt working correctly. I would get it looked at. That would annoy me if it was lit all the time.
