Default Peculiar exterior lights problem

Seemingly without any provocation, my SRT-6 has just started doing the weirdest thing with its exterior lights a minute or two after I close and lock its doors. For nearly 15 minutes, my vehicle will blink its lights for whatever reason, and then stop. I've had cops think my car was being broken in to, neighbors thinking I left my car running, and work associates thinking my car was possessed. I've gone through nearly the entire service manual and can find no mention of this affliction anywhere. Any thoughts? I am stopping by the stealership tomorrow to hear their excuses.

Yup. Sounds just like my wife!

My xFire has no reason to complain!

Skip the stealership and go straight to the Exorcist.

Btw, can the grammar teachers please advise if I spelled Exorcist correctly?

Thanks a bunch....

You indeed spelled "exorcist" correctly. I did a little research on MBWorld.org, and this seems to be a very rare incident involving the the security module going on the fritz. Hopefully the stealership can resolve this one quickly.

You will not be flogged and quartered. You will be drawn and quartered!

Now that my thread has been sufficiently derailed, I will now attempt to bring it back on topic. It looks like I may have a fault in my vehicle's security module, or somewhere in the wiring/relays in between. I love my Crossfire. All the electrical gremlins of a Mercedes with all the shitty tech support of a Chrysler.
