New owner of 2001 E320. Just noticed Tow Hook rocker switch LED flashing. Is this normal and never noticed or is something amiss?

The blinking is telling you something-----------first take a look at your owners manual. Simple solution!!

It indicates the alarm is armed...and happens when you have locked the car using the key fob.

Plutoe

Just be careful and read the manual----look in the anti theft section. The light is blinking because the system is armed---open a door or hood and hear what happens.

Typical response from you right?.. If you know what is telling the flashing led why just dont answer the question to our member?? Ohh Look at the manual! look at the manual.. Forums exist by this reason mate: Questions/Responses

Paronoff: Yes like "renault" sayd this led flashes telling you the alarm system is armed and all doors are locked with the key fob mate

I wonder if you saw post #4...before your post!!!

Plutoe has a point... I mean, how lazy (or dumb) are some people, they can't even be bothered to RTFM? What next? "I have this big round thing in front of me when I sit in the car and it makes a loud noise when I press on the center of it. What's that noise?"

What a poor common sense and sense of help to all of us. if you guys like to say your "Read The Fuggin Manual" what are you provide to the forum? what are you making or contributing here?, but i respect your oppinion about.. I remember you some people buy cars used WITHOUT the owners manual.. You have the knowledge about the led or so, some people not. And this is why we make question... to get answers

Just my 2 cents..

Enjoy the Forums guys

there is a finesse in how we help: feed them or show them how to fish ....
all the while without sounding like an ***. if it's the latter, then i would suggest
it's better not to post. sometimes, tough love can be the most helpful thing we
do.

case in point: on the other forum, someone asked how to lower the rear headrest
in their sedan. i suggested that it's in the owner's manual...and pasted the page.

I always enjoying reading your thought provoking, positive and helpfully contributions to posts. Keep up the good work and enjoy the forum.

Could be true...maybe he doesn't have a manual. So you could help him by posting a link to the pdf manuals available. If he has a manual...then it's as easy for him to look it up as it was for me. If the answer could reasonably be expected to be found in the manual, then stop being lazy and RTFM.

The headrest lowering thread on the other side was indeed strange...so I didn't answer because I wasn't sure if one of the headrests was stuck. Another forum failure is to give too little info to allow a reasonable question.

Sure i can:

Didn't mean to cause a ruckus. Bought car used with no manual. Trying to find one on eBay. Previous owner never mentioned alarm. I had never approached the car from the rear before last night and was surprised to see blinking led. Thank you all for the help.

renault12ts

No problem...see post 12.

Paronoff

Thank you for PDF manual. It will be a big help.
