Default Keyless entery and light.

I got a stock 00 Jeep and it has the factory lock and unlock and the panic remote with it. Does the parking light suppose to blink every time I use the lock, unlock button? When I hit the panic button, it makes a sound but no light flashing. What could it be or is that how it came factory?

It gotta blink. I have never seen a car/truck that does not blink when it locked or unlocked. Also panic part should always have a headlight flashing, I know that for sure.

Nope, no lights will blink. All you'll get is a chirp of the horn upon locking it up, and a honking horn when using the Panic button.

No flash here either. Anybody know if this is something that can be changed with programming, like the horn?

GM vehicles are programmable. Jeeps might be as well. Check your owners manual
