Battery light on.....
Just noticed my bat. light is going on when starting the truck. Also just noticed the tiny blue light for my Cobra alarm sys., blinks while armed, ( ive always thought it only did that for a minute then goes off).
Is the system (I have in my sig), supposed to blink all the time while armed? and could this be draining my batts? or is it just time for new batts? (35k miles)
Thanks

my dad just had A bad battery replaced in his 05 last week & I only got 3 years out of my 04, the motocraft batt`s are *****. I dont have a viper but most alarms blink slow when armed & blink fast if set off when you were away.
