Since you were not able to reply to the info request I sent. I cannot be as accurate and thorough as I would like in my answer. I hope what I can provide does help. If the theft light is flashing rapidly, that means the keys are defective and the computer is not recognizing their chip or the PATS transceiver is faulty. Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose
