The factory alarm is armed
this is my own answer,no airbag will be ok, the only problem is you have to reprogram instrument cluster and ford are the only one that can do this at a cost of £119.00+ vat.
If in the cluster, it is the warning of a failure in the theft alarm / sentry key system.If on the rear, outside. It is a turn signal.If in the cluster, it is the warning of a failure in the theft alarm / sentry key system.If on the rear, outside. It is a turn signal.
If you have factory alarm, you have a right light blinking in the dashboard (on the top of the light there is word "alarm") when the alarm is on. If you have aftermarket alarm, then the blinking light is usually to left of the steering wheel next to mirrors regulator.
By any chance are you referring to the word "THEFT" that blinks in your gauge cluster when the Explorer is shut off and locked up ? That indicates that your alarm system is armed .
It is Part of the Sentry Key Computer and instrument cluster. The Sentry Key Computer is located on the steering column around the key cylinder.
The door chime is located inside the driver's side door. It is part of an instrument cluster that controls the interior lights, locks, and alarm.
Could be alarm...
If I understand the question correctly, when you turn on your Hazard lights, the back-lighting of your instrument cluster flashes too. This is not normal. The Hazard lights should only affect the turn signals and the turn signal indicator lights in your instrument cluster. This is a wiring issue, specifically a short circuit between your hazard flasher circuit, and your instrument cluster backlighting circuit. Although I am not familiar with an Acura Integera's circuitry, I believe the short exists in this area because your instrument cluster backlight operates in a flashing pattern. It is apparent that the hazard flasher circuitry is finding ground through the circuit responsible for the instrument cluster backlight. If this is the case, to solve the problem all you have to do is isolate the short and wrap some electrical tape around the exposed wires, individually, for a quick fix. However, gaining access to the wires and locating the short may be difficult and frustrating. You may want to have your dealer or an experienced individual repair this for you. If you recently had an aftermarket alarm installed, they may be responsible for this issue as well, since lighting circuitry is altered for the alarm's functionality. -APTech
