Hello, my 02 is running fine, but now my theft light flashes on the cluster. It's not rapid flashing, and it goes away when I start the vehicle. When I turn off the engine and remove the key, the light appears, and it flashes, and flashes. The light used to stay off until I pushed the lock button on the fob twice -- then the light would come on and keep flashing, and the horn would honk once. No repairs have been done recently, and I disconnected the negative battery cable for about 20 minutes to see if it would change, and the light is coming back on. My battery has a few years on it, but it turns the engine and starts just like normal. The battery is a Napa, and it's 9.5 years old. Also, I used ForScan, but don't really know how to use it, and did a basic check on codes and nothing came up. Any thoughts? Thank you.
