Default Rapid Flashing Light

On Gear Consul.......
Searched the forum for a fix and also rang the dealer.

Light flashed when turned ignition off.
No Electrics and couldn't restart car, locked car door manually and opened boot to check battery connections, tried key fob again, Electrics returned and car started ?

Read on the Forum it could be Immobilizer or Key Fob or low Battery.
Dealer suggests, Low Battery and to Trickle Charge.

I'm inclined to Replace the Battery and see if that's the fix.......?
Only had the car a couple of weeks.

Cheers

I would be inclined to replace the battery also, if it is not new. Then you know there is not a problem. Giving it a 24 hr charge and having it load tested is good, but does not provide the confidence of a new battery.
