Onstar Red Light

Last night I noticed this. The Onstar mirror, there is a light on either side of the buttons across the bottom of the mirror. The light on the right is now red. Anyone know what this means? No Sat signal? It is on all the time now, no matter my location. Thanks.

Mine lights are green all the time. Not sure what red means.

OnStar goes through factory head unit.
Red lights on probobly because it is not functional.
You need to get a OnStar module hooked up to get it working.

I like the peace of mind having OnStar.
The phone comes in handy also

if you have switched out the radio you need a module.

the red signifies that there is a problem with the onstar system. it can be numerous things, ranging microphone being inoperative to losing communication with vehicle computers.

try pressing the blue button and see if someone answers, if they do, ask them for help, they'll do a remote diagnostic.

if not take to dealer. could be cuzed by something other than onstar and may be a problem.

Am I loosing it or was pups original (unedited)post said the head unit was changed

Yes, it was confusing the issue because I wrote it up wrong. The Onstar has worked for the 3 months since I put the new stereo in. It was jut the other night when I swapped out the the steering wheel for the leather version that I noticed the red light. Sorry 'bout that. I thought the red light meant that Sat signal was lost. I was going to try to disconnect the battery and hopefully reset it. If not I have dealer visit scheduled for brakes and have alignment post-New Torsion Bar install, and will have them take a look then. Thanks.
