I just got into work and after I turned the truck off I noticed that I have an indicator light blinking every so often on the dash where all of the idiot light indicators are.

It's located on the extreme left side of the display. It's red and looks like a car with a padlock next to it. Of course I planned to check the owners manual later after work, but in the mean time, do any of you know what that is and why it turned on all of a sudden? It goes off when the truck is running.

That is your vehicle security light, just look at it as being Fords version of an alarm on/off light.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I just picked up the truck last week and never noticed it until this morning. I'll read up on it later.

I'vd had it flash once when someone in the fam-damily tried to enter the door code, 3 times, before I entered the proper one. When I started the truck, it flashed for a bit. Manual says try a restart to reset it, which I did, and it did.

If its prolonged, for sure, dealer time!

Lol,,, no big deal, from what the owners manual states it's just a security light which in all actuality doesn't do much. Just like one of the other guys who posted an answer said.

Correct - it just blinks to let you know that the PATS system is working...
