LED Door Buttons

Since I got my car the passenger door LED button blinks away happily when the alarm is on. I have another LED on the centre console which stays on constant. My drivers door one was not working. I picked up another unit today and fitted it to my drivers door. It now comes on constant whilst the passenger door flashes!

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks

After the factory alarm tried to burn my car down I would say anything is possible.
The switch on the centre console that locks the doors should be solid lit when the doors are locked.
 
I've no experience of the central lockong on these but if the centre light is constant when locked and the door one flashes, it could be that the flashing is an in door circuit board and the one in the drivers door is not wired / faulty or something.

Just a thought!

Indeed, or that the LED in the door pin is a dedicated flashing unit (as in, something that looks like a normal LED but which flashes by design. They do exist.)

The LED in the door is a flashing unit. The issue is the new one is on constant whilst the original passenger one still flashes. New unit faulty or were there 2 types of unit?
 
OK, problem solved. There are two different units. My original units have little circuit boards in them which control the "flash". The new unit I picked up had straight through wires and no circuit board despite the part being identical from the outside. So there are either cars with solid LED door buttons or the circuitry for the flash is located somewhere else in those cars.

At least I understand now! I will either adapt the new unit to flash or try to pick one up with the circuit in it.
