    It was cali raised ditch light with witing harness. It had relay and everything connected. I did put ground first before putting red on. Was that wrong?

    It’s normal. Just hit the panic button to stop the alarm if it’s going off. Arm the alarms and then disarm it. It’s blinking like crazy to let you know there was and event. Mine did this the other day too

    So I finally figure it out. I gotta hold the blue blinking button and play with the push start button. End up resetting it, hopefully it wont go off in the middle of the night. Lol
