Huh.. please explain. After the Jeep is shut down the sentry light should flash intermittently. At least on my JK's it does..

Well, I have had 3 JK's and the sentry light on all blinks red, intermittently and never stops once you lock doors. This is normal and I'm sure it is normal with the JL/JLU also.

Lol now that I have my Jeep I just noticed this too and immediately searched to make sure it had to do with security.

It’s your alarm I think try not locking your doors and see if it still flashes

So I take it this flashing red light is to show the alarm is active. The base Sport (with manual locks) does not include an alarm.

Many years ago, when my oldest was about 4, I was trying to get him into bed on Xmas eve. We were in his room and he was just too excited to sleep.

We decided to peek out the window to see if we could spot Santa flying around. His room was on the 2nd floor overlooking the driveway. Our Jeep Grand Cherokee was parked down there in the dark.

When we looked out the window, we saw a flashing red light in the dark.

Rudolph was in our driveway!!!!
