Pls forgive my ignorance, and pls enlighten me.
This bulb on top of my dashboard(name unknown), usually blinks round the clock, whether I'm driving or not. But I recently notice that it only blinks when car is off. If I turn it on, the light won't blink anymore.
My boot has refused to open, seems the central lock doesn't operate the boot anymore.

Issue was noticed when I returned back from a trip(not with the car), of 3days. I removed one of the battery head till I came back.

What could have happened??
Is it something I shouldn't worry about.
Pls help...

Give details about your car. I.e name, engine type etc

What's the vehicle year, model and brand, so we don't make mistake, because manufacturer can assign different warning lights.

That should be Nissan though I stand to be corrected .
That is your immobiliser light indicating that the nats immobilizer is "ON" and in stanby mode'' when the light is ON.The light will always be "ON" the transducer key has been removed.But will stay "OFF" when the correct transducer key is in the ignition .

I'm very sorry for the insufficient info... It's nissan primera 2.0i, 1998

Thanks for your enlightenment on the light name. I have only been using a remake key not the one that came with the vehicle, I just need to place the original but broken key close to the ignition when I put it on. It works fine, while the light remain blinking all through.
If I get u right, what u are saying is that the immobilizer light should only go off when the correct key is used. But that's not the case here cos I'm still using the replacement key I made and the boot has refused to open since I noticed it.
