Thanks all for your replies. I'm inclined to conclude that the fact the
light continues to blink after turning off the ignition is normal, and is
an indication that the alarm system is armed. The remaining puzzle is, as I
mentioned, why the light did not blink this way before. Of course, I may
just not have noticed it, but think that is unlikely. In any case, car
starts and runs fine, so I hope to relax.
