If you have a small odd shaped key on the keyring there is a socket under the steering wheel (in the plastic housing) which mine fitted. By turning the key left or right in the socket it resets the light. I found that the flashing light indicated that the alarm had been triggered at some time when I had been away from the car and had switched itself off after a time. If you have this key you could try that.

There is a blue light flashing on rear view mirror. Why?

Usually a flashing blue light is from an aftermarket installed alarm system or remote starter.
You may want to check your owners manual if the light is in the mirror glass.
