You have to reset the pass lock you turn on the key switch when you see the light comes on blinking just let it blink till it stops about 6 to 10 mins when it stops blinking turn key switch all the way off and then back to on if light is not blinking it will start

I had the same problem on my 98 sonoma. for some reason your passlock system did not recognise your key and went into security. you have to take it to a dealer or a shop with a computer and have them reset your passlock. if you have a buddy or know someone with a scan tool they may be able to do it to. i think the shop here charged $35. but there is no other way to fix it.

The security light on the dash is on and blinking and isn't starting

Somebody tried to break into your car, and you wont be able to get it to turn over without reprogramming your car key, or simply be persistent,and continue trying to crank it. but for sure you will need it re programmed, beware because it is expensive.

hope this helps. by the way that system is the "Anti-Theft"

99 Pontiac bonneville wont start. just get a humming. no crank or starter sound

This may be related to the antitheft security system. The system is known for turning off the starter and/or injectors when it fails. When it's the security locked out starter, you won't even hear a click when you turn the key. Is there a light on the dash that says SECURITY or a picture of a car with a lock through it? This is a common problem worth looking into. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/

Cadillac Sevile 99 problem - is itpossible that engine wont start when low brake pressure? Brake fluid leaked thru a damaged pipe and now engine wont start.. is there any security system that not allows to...

Chances are your Imobilizer is keeping your car from starting, try using a different key. Is the car cranking and then shutting off a second later? Any lights flashing on the dash? Highly unlikely that a brake fluid leak would prevent your car from starting. The only way thAt would be possible is if the fluid leaked onto a module and ate away at your board.

99 mercury cougar wont crank no spark anti theft light flashing

a bad security system would restrict the ignition system from activating so the engine may be perfectly fine but until the security system give it the ok, its gonna sit. have someone take a look at the security system and see if they cant fix the system or deactivate it (what use is a security system if your car wont start right?)

Chevy s10 wont start

Just a thought, it could be the antitheft system "passlock" this can turn your injectors off if not functioning correctly. (that's the antitheft, can't run with no injectors). You would see a light on the dash that says SECURITY or ANTITHEFT. This link explains.

Starter wont crank on a 2000 oldsmobile intrigue

Check your manual if you have it. I believe you need to have the key in the ignition in the ON position for about 10 minutes to reset the security system.
