So, starting today, my xD doesn't beep or flash when I lock it. It beeps twice and flashed like normal, when I in lock it. It does lock when I press the lock button, just no beep and no flash of the lights.

I tried opening and closing each door and the hatch just to be sure. That didn't help.

Any ideas?

in valet mode? my viper on my truck can be set to silent, is it an oem keyless/alarm

Sorry, let me add more details. Everything is stock. No alarm system. OEM key. I tried both key remotes and the same thing happens. Everything appears completely normal, except it does not flash/beep when it locks. It does double flas/double beep when unlocking. It just stopped doing it when locking. I can't find anything else out of p,ace, but i want to fix it. Something is wrong... It had beeped and flashed every time I lock it for the last year and a half. Now it has changed all of a sudden.

For what it is worth, it will still do the long beeeeeeeeeeep if I try to lock it when a door is open.

i dunno maybe the keyless entry still has a silent mode

Well, it isn't all that silent, being that it still beeps and flashes when I unlock it. Something is up... Maybe I'll call Scion tomorrow if I can find some free time at work.

my old xD did that for a bit. then it eventually worked again. not sure what caused it.

Funny you should mention that.

My car was still not beeping/flashing this morning. After getting to work, I had to go out and get stuff from my car three times. The third time, when I locked it, there was a bried pause, then it beeped and flashed! I unlocked it and locked it again, and it beeped and flashed like normal. I didn't do anything to the car. I opened a door and got something out... but that door has been opened and closed at least ten times in the last 24 hours, so I don't think that had anything to do with it.

Odd.... I'd still like to know what the heck was going on.

check the dome light operation with the door buttons that turn on the light - that controls the door lock system since it monitors to see if the doors are open or closed by those push button switches.

I was thinking along the same lines... But with the xD, if a door is open and you hit the lock button, you get a loooooooong annoying beep. I didn't get that, except for when I opened a door and tried it on purpose.

I have to chalk this up to "it fixed itself".

mine does this occasionally. no visual/audible notice the car is locked other than hearing it lock. open and close the door thinking I didn't close the door. It worked again and has been fine since. Domelight has nothing to do with this issue. But i mentioned somewhere else the car a weird aura about it right now.

Mine does the same thing occasionally too - usually when this happens, the front passenger door gets "jammed" and won't open from the outside even when all other doors are unlocked and will open. After I open the door from inside the car and close it, it will beep/flash and go back to normal.

I've always blamed it on my wife, but last weekend the same thing happened to the rear driver's side door. :ponder:

Strange! I would certainly take it in and have them look at it. I was annoyed enough that mine didn't beep. If doors weren't opening, it would be in for warranty work.
