Flashing light on column

A friend of mine has a 2002 f-250 and he says there is a red light flashing constantly on his steering column. I thought is sounded like a anti-theft light but he says it flashes all the time key on or off. Can anyone tell me what it is and why it's flashing?

Did he say where on the column he sees this flashing red light?

Does he consume any controlled substances?

Yep - sounds like the remains of a remote-start or alarm, or perhaps it is just busted. Could even be a false alarm (only a blinking light, which is always on!) Could pop the column apart and just trace the wires and see where they go.
