The only thing that I can think of right now is that your inside light has a short and when it turns on its setting off the alarm. But, ur saying that the siren does work, and that should go off too if that was the problem.

It sounds like the alarm is going off and thats why the lights are flashing, but if that was the case, the siren should go off too. I dont think the dealer would work on it if you have a lot of mods on the car. thats cow they are here anways.

Mine had a problem with the glove box switch. it had a short, and it would set off the light, and that would set off the alarm. Since my siren is bad, I wouldnt hear the alarm, I would notice the lights flashing. After a few minutes it would stop.

Oh it's no problem Deyain, you have the police CLK that did not make it into the Transformers movie, it's a simple step process with most CLKs, it's their pre-form stage phase they go through.

sounds like a bad fuse maybe? check your fuses number 1, check your lights, maybe you miswired, move them around a bit, play around with it, if you still cannot get it fixed, I'd take it to audio specialists or wherever that deals with eletronic components.

yup, most likely it's that problem, I remember this problem with another user who had the same issues, alarms wouldnt go off but you see the lights flashing.

thanks for the help guys....first thing ima do is go ta the guy who recently put the HIDs into my fog lights to see if mayb he fukd with some wrong wire causing a short or somethin...but thing is i wont even know if it was fixed cuz it just occurs randomly so ill just hafta sit around n wait or somethin ..
also...i dono if its really the alarm goin off without the siren part because my interior rear light turns on too....
przskills...wen u had this problem, all you did was change the battery on your remote? how can it really be remote related?....and i have the new chrome key and heard u cant change the battery on it cuz it just charges itself when its in the ignition or somthin...(could b wrong tho)....

In addition to the glove box, check your trunk latch to see if it is loose. I had a similar problem (but also with the siren going off). It turns out that my trunk latch was loose, so it was tripping the alarm. In my case, I put two & two together, as I noticed the trunk ajar LED on the console flickering occasionally when I went over bumps.

I already went throught this is your trunk lock mechanisium, you need to replace for new one so be ready to spend a couple of benjamins on that.
