Unhappy HELP! Can't figure out why my alarm isn't working.

Hey,

My alarm stopped working yesterday. The remote locking still works, but the lights don't flash, and I tested it and the alarm does not sound when "armed".

What can I check?

Cool, I'll check out valet mode. I just noticed that the "security" light is flashing, too.
