I have a 92 Buick Riviera and a door lock was pulled out. Security light keeps flashing draining the battery. I can't find the correct replacement lock only standard which won't work with alarm system. How can I bypass this to shut off the security light.

If you have a remote key fob for your locks etc it very much sounds like the battery is dead which will cause the car to"lockdown" so-replace battery. Good luck!

there is a resistior on the heater box on fire wall it burns out to cause that to happen it is located you will see a 3 plug wire connector the resitior has 2 screws that holds it in

The security system (VATS/PassKey) is having problems, it's typical on those cars/years. You can find a great write-up here: http://newrockies.ca , it was the only thing that saved my 94 Park Avenue that has the same security system.

if the security light is flashing try to shut all doors and using the key lock and unlock the drivers door from the outside. This should disable the security system and allow for regular operation. i hope this helps

dealer only ,think you have damaged the trransponder

traction switch is located next to drivers left knee on bottom of dash....you should be able to turn off the traction light there by just turning on the traction control.....the security light is telling you that there is a problem with your security system....could just need a new key with a new computer chip....make sure the key is clean and dry when using so it can read the chip....the security light comes on whenever your start the car and stays on for approximatley 2 minutes and then should go out....it is just a reminder....try this and see if it works....lock the door using the power switch on door.....close door and see if the security light comes on....watch and it should go out after about 2 minutes...if it does then your alarm is activated and working....to disarm you need to unlock the driver door with the key...anything else will set the alarm off and the lights will start flashing and the horn honking...after you set the alarm off you will always have to use the key to unlock the drivers door to turn off the alarm and reset the security system.

HI. there is a battery drain in your system that you will need to find. Use the procedure below to help discover this drain so you can eliminate it.

Here is the procedure I use to isolate a battery drain. Remove negative battery cable from the battery. Using a 12-volt test light, hook one end to the negative battery post the other end to the negative battery cable you just disconnected. The test light will glow or "light" if there is a drain. If the "light or glow" is faint, that is probably normal draw for the clock or computer. If the "light or glow" is bright, then there is a large drain. That should be corrected. Now start removing and replacing the fuses one by one until the light goes out; that one will be the circuit with the drain. Remember to hold in the button in the door jam for the interior lights.

it is detecting a problem....could be a dirty key or bad chip in the key....try this.....set the alarm by locking the door using the power lock switch and then close the door...the security light should come on steady for about 2 minutes and then go out.....the alarm is armed at this point.....you can unlock the drivers door using the key to reset the alarm.....if you do this with the windows down you can open the door from the inside to set the alarm off and see if it works properly by flashing lights and horn....after you trigger the alarm you will have to reset it by using the key on the drivers door....

sounds like a problem in the pass key system,you will need to have someone scan the car with a quality scanner to fix the problem

it is probably the ignition lock cylinder neeeds to be replaced it will probably fail alltogether soon
