Car alarm question

When you press your FOB to arm the alarm, which lights are supposed to light up? I ask because I think that one of my lights blew out. Also, when using your turning signals which lights blink on any given side? I hope i'm making sense.

when u use your turn signals, the lights blink respective to the side ur turning. if you turn the left blinker on, the lights in the left mirror blink, and the orange circular light in the left headlight housing also blinks. im noot totally sure about the alarm question so ill let someone else answer that one

Parking lights blink when you are arming the alarm system. Blinkers are the orange light between the high and low beams in the front headlight cluster, the lamps in the mirrors, and the wrap-around corner of the taillight cluster.

Hope that answers your questions. Of course, you also should

Cool thanks...ur probably right about the but this worked too! I ask because I think when the body shop fixed my car they never fixed the parking light on the drivers side. I just noticed it today when I used my armed my alarm.

Easy to find out.

1) Park car.
2) Turn lights on (or set turn signal)
3) Walk around car to see that everything's working OK.

With brake lights you either need to find something to jam against the pedal to depress it, or get a friend to help.

It's VERY obvious when a light isn't working and it should be. The car should be totally symmetrical.

I do this every few weeks to check on bulbs. Going to upgrade to LEDs someday...
