    Hello Everyone, (2016 Tacoma TRD OR 4x4 tow package)
    I am puzzled as to what this is, it blinks non stop while the truck is off every second(DOOR OPNE OR SHUT). It shuts off when the truck is "ON". It has a small button under it and I have no idea what it does. I don't even know what it is to look it up in the owners manual. As you can see it is located between the tire pressure reset and the hood release. If its something really obvious be kind as I'm fragile. LOL Thanks in advance

    Nothing fancy, yet. Weathertech mats front/back + their mud guards, some reflective striping and custom carpets on the storage bin lids underneath the jump seats.
    This is the Flux Capacitor switch (on my 2012 Yamaha). LOL

    Likely a dealer or port installed alarm. I have a similar thing on my 07 and that's what it was.
