Can someone check which lights flash when locking?

I'm trying to solve an electrical problem cause by body shop shorting my turn signals. The short is fixed, but still get B0502, B0507, and B2482 all the time, even immediately after clearing codes.

One thing I need to know is what lights are supossed to flask when locking car with fob. I have it set to lights only, but the only lights that flash are the front fog lamps. I thought something in the rear would flash also. Can spomeone check this out and let me know all the lights that flash when you lock the car?

Thanks,

Brad

Thanks, I thought so. The lamps come on when in reverse, but don't flash when I lock the car. Damn.

YOU ARE DA MAN!!!!

#2 was blown also from previous short. Had replaced #8 & #15, and checked several others, but didn't even think of this one. All works good now and my codes look to be gone too.

Thanks alot for taking the time to suggest a fix.

And thanks Jet-Jock for letting me know which lights are supposed to flash.

You guys made my day.

It's great to have this problem behind me.

Now on to the next ones. Leaking rear end (brand new problem) and missing at high RPM (4500-5000) in second and third.

Lucky, he told us in his other thread that everything was working, but I bet he has no DRL.

Edit, I type too slow. OP, why didn't you tell us the DRL were not working?

I did have DRL. At least they would turn on when I'd test them by turning on the ignition, headlights to off, and release hand brake per manual. I had to replace the front driver sied bulb, but they came on. It got blown when the body shop shorted the wires on reassembly of the nose. They changed the turn signal bulb, fuse 8 & 15, but didn't check the other stuff, like DRL light and #2 fuse.

Glad this is over. Didn't mean to write two threads about the same thing, was just doing my testing and thought that something in the rear should flash when locking.

Thanks magain you guys for the help. Electrical problems scare me and I am glad to have this one behind me.
