Default Anyone know what this is? (video)

When i bought my truck it had a small green diode to the left and a bit down of the steering wheel.

I have no idea what it is or what it is indicating..

It flashes randomly when i have the turn signal turned on, doesnt matter what way.

i took this video of it hoping someone possibly would be able to tell me what it is.

Tomorrow il take some pictures of it in daylight.. But i guess i would have to look under the dash to see whats going in there? Why would it be connected to the turn signals?

Greatful for help!

i would geuss at a glance, that would possible be an old alarm - maybe even getting feedback from the signal. i would trace the LED to point of origin.

hmmm, so then i guess i have 2 alarms in my truck... Do you think its still operational if il be able to find a suitable remote control for it?? :P

is it normal for alarms to light up when using the turn signals ? i mean they flash them outside when locking and unlocking but why would it do it when it isnt even activated ?
