What is this light? And why wont it go off?





I have a MY05 S2000, it has the KARR alarm installed from the dealership. Just noticed this today for the first time, im fairly certain it has never been on before. The light is on both while I am driving, and when the car is off and locked in the driveway.

My first hunch was that the alarm somehow got put into valet mode, but that appears to be a blue led under the steering wheel. Looking for some help from the community. Mods if I have placed this in the wrong section my apologies, please move it for me.

Thanks,
Omar

 

Upon further investigation I still havent found an answer. Only some clues:

Removing each of the fuses one by one beneath the dash does nothing to effect this light, it stays on regardless.

Removing the fuses under the hood, the 30A 'Backup/Accessories' Fuse disables the light, but the remote lock/unlock whole alarm system as well. I think it is definitely related to the alarm. Going to try to figure out how to remove the KARR system hopefully this weekend.

The dealership wouldnt help me out without setting up an appointment to do a $120 dollar diagnostic.

 

That is the stock alarm light, when armed it flashes. It also doubles as a shift light i think? Or that might be another car.

Either way yes, it looks like someone wired up your aftermarket alarm incorrectly. Just because a dealer did it, doesn't mean it's right.

 

I was wondering what that light was too if it was a shift light or not my STI has one just like that

 

More updates:

I removed the KARR system and now the alarm is back to factory original. The problem still exists and the light is still on.

Dealership wouldn't help and still insisted I take it to a local car alarm installation shop.

So that rules out the KARR alarm system.

 

Where are you located?
