When recharging a dead Subaru battery there is a blinking sound and lights flashing in the back of the car. I think I need to “reset” something, but what???

Well… I can’t even imagine what a blinking sound is… a repetitive clicking?

It sounds like your hazard lights are on.

You are correct. You need to use your keyfob and reset the alarm system by unlocking the doors. This kind of thing happens when the main battery power is lost. Simple fix though.
