Small red light directly below clock and between hour/minute buttons. Flashes on occassion, sometimes fast, other times slow. What is it!

I had the same light on my Escort too. It kept on flashing when I locked the doors. It had no alarm, so I just thought it was a detterent for potential thieves.
