It's part of the security system -- it let's you (and any potential thief) know that the system is armed. You can turn it off by not locking the car up when you leave, but that's not a very good idea. Other than that, maybe you could just cover it up.

The light on mine blinks constantly, even when the car is left unlocked AND it just started blinking last night for the first time. It's a 2010 Sonata, I bought it new and I've owned the car for almost a month now. The light just started blinking yesterday. Thoughts???

    My 2011 Sonata, three weeks old, just started doing the same thing. Mine, too, flashes even with the doors unlocked--it's in my garage.

I just bought a 2017 Kia Forte lx. I have a blinking light on my dash near the windshield. Someone said it's a light sensor but I don't have automatic lights and I don't have a security system. So beings that I don't have either of those things what could it be?? It blinks all the time weather the doors or locked or unlocked it doesn't matter.

How do you reset the anti-theft system on a Hyundai Sonata?
Use the ignition key to unlock the Sonata doors, then open the door and enter the driver's seat. Put the key into the ignition and turn the ignition cylinder clockwise as far as it will go before cranking the Sonata engine. Leave the key here for 30 seconds to deactivate the system.

There is a blinking red led light under lower left side of driver and steering wheel attached to dash. It blinks ALWAYs!!!

This is most likely your "Valet" alarm disable switch. Use to disable your car alarm so you can keep your Alarm Fob and let a Valet, mechanic, friend etc. operate the car without the alarm being functional. If it is an after market alarm, consult the mfg's manual, if OEM contact dealer for operating instructions.

Auto is brand new. Little red light blinking on dashboard. How do I get it to stop. Thank you. H. Kramer

The little flashing light is most likely part of an alarm system. If it was an factory installed alarm you most likely can't do much. If it is an after market alarm you can remove the alarm, which is probably faulty if that light is flashing all the time, or you can cut one of the wires to the light.

Check engine light came on and was blinking... the car was vibrating/pulsating and had a delayed acceleration.. turned car off and then back on and it seemed to help but check engine light remained on, but...

A blinking check engine light indicates one or more cylinders is currently missfiring. You will have to scan the computer and get the code to determine which cylinder it was. Then you can start you diagnostics to figure out why it was missfiring.
