Default alarm indicator light blinking faster than usual...something wrong?

when i used to lock my car with the remote, the light by the locks in the front would blink steadily about once a second. now, randomly when i lock the car, the light is blinking really fast and sometimes erratically. im wondering if something is wrong or if it is trying to tell me something...my battery was just recently jumpstarted so idk if that maybe had something to do with it? any help would be appreciated...thank you!

It flashes really fast before its armed (if you open a door right after you lock the door, nothing happens). Once if flashes slow, then its armed. If it flashes really fast, then stops flashing for a while then starts again slowly: the interior motion sensors were turned off. If they stay solidly lit the interior motion sensors are malfunctioning i believe.

Never erratically though, id watch it again its always a steady pulse, it will just change after the first 30 secs of arming or so.
