Make sure your key is allthe way in and leave it there in the foward position for a min.

Took car out today and have more info......security light flashes every once in awhile......not dependent on rpms or bumps......when it flashes I hear a small tick from behind the passenger glovebox.....also sometimes my radio messes up....(cuts off for a sec).......I just put in a NGK 8 in the car because Tr6's were too hot....... do the spark plugs have something to do with it? and it didn't do it with car off and key in run position

From what I have read, the flickering seems to be a common issue with these cars. Mine has been doing it ever since I bought it (about 2 years) and I havent had a battery die on me yet.
