Since your car says SECURITY, It can only be one thing. You have a failing antitheft system.

This is how it works.

Your key has a little black chip in the shaft. It is actually an ohms resistor.
It has a certain resistence. 1 of 15 different possibilities designated by GM

Your ignition lock cylinder not only works with the key, but also reads the resistence of that chip.

It then sends this reading to the TDM (theft deterrent module). If the ohms are right, and the ignition reads it right, and the TDM does its job, the car will start like normal. But if any of these things fail to do their job, the car goes into antitheft mode and you get the SECURITY light.

So you have a few options, try to find the failing parts, take it to the dealer to get fixed, or bypass the system.

Posted question couple days ago, my 2005 lincoln navigator wont start, replaced.starter and battery didnt work..when u put the key on dash board lights up but when u turn the key, nothing happens, no...

Are you certain the security has not immobilized the car? If it isn't a security issue, there is probably a problem in the start circuit.
If you check for power on the small starter solenoid wire, with the key held in crank, and no power is on that wire-the start circuit from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid has a problem. If the wire does have power with key in cranking position, probably a bad connection from battery to starter, since you have a new starter.
To be certain the engine is not locked up, put a socket and wrench on the crankshaft pulley center bolt and turn the engine over by hand a revolution or so.

Battery is fully charged lights come on but power to dash and turning the key wont turn the engine over. not clicks no sound car intidacator lights come on along with the ding ding when the door is open....

Probably your security system or the safety interlock. If the security light is not on, try giggling the shifter or starting in neutral.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6222268-engine_doesnt_crank_turn_over . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

Radio wont come on

Go to the very front (or back) of your owners manual (NOT in the radio section) and you may find the codes there. If not, go to your GM dealer. (Should be inexpensive job.)
