The security system light on our 2001 Forester is blinking after the key is turned off, 2 blinks at time. All doors and the hood are closed, and the system will not arm. Any ideas about what might be causing this? I can't find anything in the owners manual that addresses this. Thanks, Susan C
2 flashes indicates that you've gotten it into valet mode somehow. You did this pobably by holding the disarm button for more than 2 seconds at some point.
Just push that unlock button for more than 2 seconds again and you should be back in business.

Oh, this info is buried in the owners manual in the middle of the keys and doors chapter in the Valet Mode section.

Also, the driver's door must be open (at least on 2000 Outback) while holding the disarm button for 2 seconds.
