If you have vehicle theft security you would need to close all doors and cycle the key in the drivers lock cylinder.

I do have security locks, but don't use them,I'm sorry what does cycle the key in the drivers lock cylinder mean?

Put the key in the drivers door and turn it to lock and then to unlock.

Oh, OK> Sorry for the stupid question. I tried that, still no luck. I failed to mention that the inside lights were also flashing:a/c, wipers and recirc> I read in one if your other replies that when the inside lights...air condition, recirc, & wipers were flashing, was to try to reset them, by pushing two buttons at the same time...recirc and A/C, I did just that and got the multiple lights to quit flashing, but still have the a/c and recirc light flashing. My air condition is not blowing real strong. I think it could use a shot of freon. I had some put in a few moinths ago and it ran out already. My friend said it may have a blockage in the line or something. Does this sound like it may affect it?
Do you htink if I try the I4 Code you mention in previous messages, it may fix the headlights?
thanks so much for your help!

I'm not sure what you mean by the I4 test? The ac lights are still blinking because you still need to perform a ac cooldown test.
