Here's a new issue - When I lock my doors my parking lights and fog lamps won't stop
I just started having this issue, when I park my car and lock my doors, my parking lights front and rear and fog lights start blinking and will not stop, then if I open my doors and do not start the car the parking lights front and rear and fog lights start flashing after about 10 seconds and will not stop. Then if I start the car and stop without locking the doors no problems.
Has anyone heard of this happening before and is their an easy fix such as a bad relay?
Help would be greatly appreciated.

sounds as though your anti-theft circuit is kicking in. did something
major happen before this anomaly occurred? did it just happen all of
a sudden without any car modifications, impacts, maintenance etc?
you may need to have someone/dealer with diagnostic system to
interrogate your car functions to see if it can isolate the source of the
problem...or at least, begin to systematically resolve the issue(s). they
will likely charge you a flat rate for the SDS use.
another thing to try would be to remove the negative cable from the
battery. wait for 15-30 mins. then, reconnect. BUT !!!! be sure you
are familiar with how to reset your windows, sunroof, and have the
radio security code to reactive and restore the memory functions.
the removal of the power source has a similar effect to 'rebooting' the
electronics. it may restore the operation to default and solve the
flashing light problem.
my gut says it may also be a PSE pump issue beneath the rear seat
which is part of the anti-theft system. something is not telling the
siren to trigger (should be wailing in line with the light flashing)
