no flashing hazzards when I lock doors

[chinapat]

So today I had my windshield replaced. Now, when I lock the car (with the key toggle) the doors lock, but the hazards don't flash. The little red light on the dash is blinking, which I guess is a sign that the alarm is activated, right?

Any ideas why the hazards aren't blinking though? Could they/would they have disconnected something today when replacing the windshield.

Nevermind.... hood appeared to be shut tight, but when I opened it and closed it, it fixed the problem.

I think the flashing lights indicate that the alarm is active. I always look at them to be sure.
If not, I don't think the alarm is active, certainly not fully active.
I think that the LED also flashes when only the immobilizer is active.
It should be easy to test though. Open the hood, and lock the car with a window opened.
Then bring your (waving) hand in the car through the open window. See (or rather hear) what happens

THANK YOU!! I just got my first deer with my 01 XC70. The deer lost. I noticed the lock lights weren't flashing and was going thru the fuses with no luck. Replaced the 5 amp fuse for the alarm. Now all I need is a new hood and fender

I am sorry to hear about the deer and the damage to your car! I would keep an eye on the alarm since fuses
seldom blow without a cause. The sirene module is known to fail due to water damage in the module itself.
The module is located in the right front wheel well. Symptoms can also be knispering sounds resembling
static discharge noise coming from the front right side of the car, even when the car is completely shut down.
