Does this car have an aftermarket alarm system? it sounds like it does, as i dont ever recall seeing a blue flashing light in one of these cars. do you have an alarm / auto start remote control? try locking / unlocking the car several times with the remote, if it has a remote start try starting it with the remote a few times. try locking / unlocking the car with the key. good luck!
have a look under neath the dash and under the hood for anything that looks like aftermarket wiring. i strongly feel that the previous owner may have installed an aftermarket alarm. may need to go to a garage and be removed (there can be a ALOT of wiring repair involved in this) if you can see some sort of alarm module and identify a brand and model, you might be able to track down a key fob from whoever caries the brand.
This is not an after market alarm. It is a factory installed alarm

Sounds like a security system in the vehicle that shuts down parts of the computer when power is unhooked. Look in you operator's manual that goes over the security system to see how you reset it when you unhook the batter.
Good Luck

I don't have an alarm for this car. I have no idea if the previous owner put one in or not. THe locks are manual.Do I try with the key then?
Thank you
Any ideas on how to reset? Can't find anything in the owners manual.
Ottawa tech, thank you very much for your help. We will take a look. I hope this is something we can take care of with out going to a garage! All this just for replacing a headlight...:)
