well to my knowin when u remote start a car the lights usually does that, so that u will kno it is in runnin(like if u away from d vehicle and can't hear it start). Speak to your alarm tech who installed it. But the lights goin on for a second and off is normal

can you tell exactly what model it is though??
most likely it a short somewhere but is to find it .......check if you can do it again and if it happens get your car wiring checked by an electrician and get someone to rewire the alarm unit !!
