LED light for my python alarm system in my car constantly blinks even when disarmed, why?

Question

I went to test my python alarm. I armed it and it chirped, so i shook the car a bit to test it and see how well it would work and the shaking of course set the alarm off. so i turned the alarm off with the lock/unlock button and that was that.

but then i notioced after i did that the LED light now stays blinking CONSTANTLY even when the alarm is not armed and i am driving the car. also now when i go to disarm it it chirps 4 times instead of two like it used to before i tested it. the alarm itself isnt acting different it still works, but now the LED just stays blinking 24/7 and it chirps 4 times when i go to disarm/unlock the car which is really annoying becasuse it used to only do it 2 times. so what do i need to do to set it back to how it was?

Answer 1

Turn your ignition key on and off.

The alarm is just reporting that it was triggered.  The 4-chirps means that the alarm went off; the number of flashes tell you what zone.  It will continue to do the 4-chirp and flashing until you use the key in the ignition.  That will reset the alarm report function.

If cycling the ignition doesn't reset the alarm, then it may not be wired correctly.

Edit:  Yes, you can start the car; but you don't have to.  Just put your key in the ignition, turn it all the way to "run", then turn it off again.  That's all the alarm needs.
