Just bought a 2005. 100K miles. Great ride! Test drove it 30-40 miles. Made a few stops along the way. Love it!
Just got home after drving around all day with it; turned it off; removed key (as did several times earlier). Now notice a blinking red THEFT light on the dash. Don't remember seeing that during all the testing around. What's up with that? Does it go OFF? or is that an automatic thing? Opened and closed the doors several times....started it several times. Still the blinking THEFT light.... ??
My Wife's 2005 escape has one of the optional factory alarms installed and I know something is messed up with it. Her alarm used to randomly go off once and a while and her theft light blinks at all times, even while running. Doesn't effect anything though.
