Elise s1 alarm light

[Geek]

My Elise s1 111s is currently sorn and stored in the garage connected to a trickle charger, however, I have noticed that the alarm light on the dash is occasionally illuminated. I disable the immobiliser, turn on the ignition and the light extinguishes. But it may be illuminated the next time I check the car.

Thoughts on what is causing this? 

Thank you.

The alarm on the S1( which alarm?) passively immobilises after 40 (?) seconds.  I think the exact time depends on whether the door is open, etc.  Then the light starts to flash.  You can't stop it without major re-programming (depending on which alarm).

Try it.  Take the key out, shut the door, and wait.  Within a minute, you should see the indicators flash and the LED will come on.  It isn't terribly bright, especially after 25 years, and you might have missed it previously.

Sounds normal to me. After removing the key, after a short while the indicators on my S1 flash a few times, even without me pressing the key fob, then the alarm light on the dash starts flashing. Thought all S1 Elise did this

It must have always done that and I just haven't noticed.

Thank you for the responses, seems the flashing light is normal and I have just not noticed it previously.

My alarm light start flashing after a minute or so that is the immob activated. My ind do not flash unless the alarm is activated on the key fob though.
