My starter was going out on my car so I changed it out. I thought I could save a step by not disconnecting the battery so I arched the starter. I then disconnected the batter. After installing the starter the car ran fine but my security light came on. I didn't think much about it. About 2 days later my car would not start at all. Every thing seems to work fine it just won't start. And the security light is all steady. Is there anything I can do w/o taking it to the dealership.
I had a similar problem in my '97 Cutlass Supreme. The two vehicles have the same electrical makeup. My car would not start either and I had to take it to the dealer. $544 later, it ran fine. My problem was a shorted out ignition. You may have shorted yours out when you arched the starter. The only thing you can do is to disconnect the negative battery terminal and let the car sit for about an hour. The security light may go off then. I hope it does. If not, then to the dealer it is.
