    I believe it means your security system is now active.

    The engine immobilizer is active. This blinking light is normal with the car off.

    Blinking red light is the immobilizer. Blicking red light I'm not sure, but it doesn't sound good.

    In Honor of Battlestar Galactica, I'll say your Blicking Red Light means your Fracking Engine Imobilizer is activated.

    Now go read your owners manual...
