Hello,

Can you try exiting the car and using the lock fob to lock it then let it sit for 45 minutes and then unlock it. This should disarm the system and the light will stop blinking.

Please let us know what happens.

That didn't work. It's still blinking. I've tried locking and unlocking the car by putting the key in the driver's side lock rather than using the lock fob to reset it. That didn't work either. I don't know what it is but I'm afraid to drive it because I'm worried that it will decide not to start.

Yep let's try one more thing. Please remove the negative battery cable and touch it to the positive terminal for 5 minutes this will hard reboot the system and reset the protocol.

Here is a guide that may help as well.

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

That might be a little more than I can handle

Do you have an extra key for the car can you try that? If that doesn't work then you have to take it to the dealer for reprogramming.

Please let us know what happens.

I do have an extra key I already tried that and it didn't work. I took it to the dealer this morning they reprogrammed it and it took care of the problem.
