Some cars appear not to have this facility. ;) THIS (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/flashermod.htm) will tell you alll about it.

It depends upon the year of the car and its CCM, though Ford are supposed to be able to reprogram them to flash.

My 95's original CCM didn't flash at all, I then got hold of one out of a 96 which did flash.

This gives a coupleof quick flashes, but only if you double lock it via the remote. Then 30 seconds later it gives another double flash suggested to indicate that the alarm has armed itself. Nothing at all when you unlock it via the remote and nothing when you use the key. It also flashes the lights when the alarm is triggered, so at least I know it is my car making all of the racket.

Open the glove box, look down at where the plastic support arms fix onto the bit that drops down - at either side, you will find a couple of metal brackets. These have a springy bit on them, which if you push on it will release the arm - thus allowing the box to drop all the way down. Once free, it just pulls out of the back hinge pivot slots.

Once out, you will see a black plastic cased unit, with 3 sockets and only two multi-plugs plugged into it (probably).

This is the CCM (Central Control Module). The CCM is the multiplex unit which controls door mirror positions, seat positions, alarm system, locking and unlocking, receives the signal from the remote control etc..
