Hopefully the SMART module has built in current limiting and the security LED is not one with a built-in resistor... but if it's always on dimly, I'm NOT thinking that's a good sign.

I don't think anyone has (admitted to) opening up their SMART module to see if it has a discreet output drive transistor for the light or not.. if it does you might be able to replace it. If it's built into a chip however... ouch.

I don't know how the programing routine goes, but remember finding a used one means you have to reprogram your factory remotes. (which is a good idea even if you use aftermarket alarms).
