The blinking light on the top of the dash normally means that the alarm is either armed or tripped. On an 850 it won't even crank when the immobilizer kicks in, I'm not as sure what the behavior is with an S or V series car is, it may just kill the spark.

Lock and unlock the doors either with the remote or the key and see if the blinking LED on the top of the dash goes out.
