Does the Tacx Speed and Cadence Sensor have any indicator light to confirm it is working properly?

Yes - the sensor mounted on the bike frame is activated and turns green the moment the magnet passes the cadence sensor or speed sensor the first time. It will then illuminate every 15 seconds while the sensor is in use.

Why is the sensor indicator light not flashing?

It could be that the battery compartment holder is bent down. This way, the battery cannot get power to the sensor. Gently lift the metal plate up a little bit so that contact with the battery is improved.
