Hi all, who out there can help me? I have since two weeks the yellow light with the key in it constant on my dash when the car is running. Have replaced battery of the key. Also used the spare key, no results. Since couple of days when I shut down the car now the red light (with key picture in it) starts flashing (every 10 sec or so) in sync with it I hear a little beep.
Went to Auto Electrician and he cant find the issue. Any of you guys came across something similar? Like to hear from You.

The red key icon is supposed to flash constantly anytime the ignition is off. If the car is locked it stays lit solid for about 30 seconds, then blinks. Otherwise it just blinks. There shouldn't be any beep or chime with it, that part isn't normal. Does the car maybe have an aftermarket security system?

The yellow key is the BCM telling you there's a problem in the I-key system. That can be simple, stupid stuff like a bad hood switch or a stuck shifter detent button, but the only way to know is with a scanner capable of reading the BCM inputs.
