if you look closely at the light, it looks like a car with a key in the middle of it. The light is a theft deterrant. Generally, it means that the stereo unit is bolted to the passenger airbag or something like that. It just lets any thieves no ahead of time that it is going to be very hard to get the stereo out. So the idea is, that they'll just leave it alone

What does it mean when a theft light is blinking?

How do you stop theft light blinking on a 2001 ford ranger?

That depends on when it's blinking. If it's blinking rapidly when you turn the key on, there is a problem in the anti-theft, and the truck probably won't start. If it's blinking every 3 seconds when the key is off, that is a normal condition. It's telling you that the system is armed and ready.

Blinking red light on auto light 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe?

The blinking red light under the windshield on the driver side indicates that the car has not been locked with the key fob. Using the key fob to arm the theft alarm system turns the red light continuously on. In other words, the blinking is to remind the driver that the car is not locked (but will also be visible to any passerby, which is really a dumb feature of the car...why advertise the fact that the alarm system hasn't be activated?).
