Did you buy the car from a dealer or from a previous owner? If you bought it from a dealer, they should know what it is and you could call them. Is there nothing in the manual that should have come with the car?Thanks my friendāŗ....but that answer would only apply if the car was on and you looked at the dashboard display. My original question still stands please. Thanks everyone.
2003 VW Beetle was bought from a Used Car dealer and my daughter is the 4th owner. There is no manual.
What I found is that if it's the anti-theft alarm, if you press the unlock button on the keyfob, but the key in the ignition and turn it on, and then off again, and that should reset it?
I will try. Thank you
It went off when I turned the key....but when I got out of the car and locked it the blinking resumed. Maybe it is always there? Many cars have a red blinking light all the time. Maybe nothing is wrong??
I need plush amenities on vacation!!
Mine also. Thank you!
I tried this months ago but they don't go back as far as my 2003....my daughter's car is a 2003. If memory serves me...it was 2009 or later...maybe 2011.

The red blinking light probably just means that the system is armed. It is probably normal.
I'm under so much marital stress. It seems there is nothing I can do to help the situation. Last night I just thought this was one more thing she'd blame me for. Paranoia was setting in
That reminds me of the old saying, "the happiest days in a boat owner's life are the day they buy it and the day they sell it".
I'm sorry you are under so much stress. I can imagine it's really hard...so much has changed in the last year. Your daughter going to college, the pandemic, differences in having to work from home. All will take their toll. I think your child moving away to attend college is always difficult...you have to shift from active parent to a more advisorial role. But at the moment with all the uncertainty and you worry even more about her just when she's not under your watchful eye anymore. I hope it will settle down soon and you'll get back to a more steady situation.I tried this months ago back they don't go back as far as my 2003....my daughter's car is a 2003.

I just wish and pray that my wife would have the same compassion and grace for my shortcomings that she gives to our daughter. It is said that some people are patient and understanding with everyone but their spouse. Such a shame.
I can understand that. I'm thinking maybe it's a case of love is blind...most mamas will forgive their kids anything. But it's harder with a spouse because we didn't give birth to them and don't have authority over them like we do our kids. There's only so much we can do about their behavior. And I know I'm guilty of forgiving things the kids do that would drive me batty if my husband did them because I feel like he should know better. He tells my daughter not to throw her candy wrapper on the coffee table, but throw it away, but then he leaves his trash on the coffee table himself. Or gets upset with me if I buy food and don't eat it all and it sits in the fridge for a while, but he does the exact same thing. But I suspect maybe it's worse for you now because your daughter is not home, so neither of you have her to focus on anymore and instead focus on each other. And if you are working from home, you're around each other a lot more often to get on each other's nerves. And I know I sometimes feel taken for granted, like during the holidays. My husband's employer gives everyone the week between Christmas and New Years off, and my husband took off several days before Christmas as well, and the kids were free. I was the only one who still had to work as always, but nobody did anything to take some of the additional burden of housework off my shoulders. So not only was I the only one working, I was also the only one working in the house doing all the chores. Laundry, cooking, grocery shopping, scrubbing toilets....everyone got to be lazy and enjoy the time off except me. Maybe your wife is feeling vulnerable or invisible now that your daughter isn't there anymore?
