Now we are noticing that the yellow lock light on the dash comes on when locking or unlocking, but it never did before (its an '08). So is this good or bad? And why now?
I will make a bet that is covered in your Owner Manual. Use the search tool to find one on this site.

We did, but why would it stay on, and/or blink 3 times at a certain interval?

Check the parts about the theft deterrent system. On mine the light flashes after I lock the doors with the fob until I unlock with the fob (all night long), presumably to scare thieves away.

I think there is a "valet" mode.
