I took my 2017 legacy to the car wash this weekend and when I returned home and turned off the engine the “security indicator” (padlock +car) started flashing slowly. After a few minutes it settles into a pattern of two quick flashes, then a pause for a second then repeat. It’s never done this before.
Reading the dense manual it seems like maybe something triggered the alarm , but there’s no instructions for how to reset the indicator. Lots of anecdotal advice in forums (tap brakes ten times, open door and hold window button) but nothing turns the flashing off.
Dealer is blowing me off, won’t give me an answer, wants me to bring the car in which will end up costing at least $500 plus time. It should be simpler.
I’m hoping someone knows what the indicator flashing means and how I reset it.
TIA
