There is probably a small piece of paper jamming the switch inside the slot.

The switch is triggered as you push the paper in, it is very sensitive and light and can be easily jammed in the run position.

Be careful and make sure it is unplugged before putting you fingers near it.

Try using a small piece of paper and sliding it sideways in the slot to clear any debris.

If all else fails you may have to take the machine head apart to clear shreds of paper from the cutters and sensor switch.

How do you fix a jam in your paper shredder?

To fix a paper jam, you must first locate where in the printer the paper jam is, if your printer has multiple paper trays. * When you have located the jam, turn the printer off. * If you can see the paper, remove it slowly and carefully with both hands by pulling the edge out in the direction it would naturally be released. * Open the printer door to look for any stuck paper. * If there are bits of paper still inside the printer, take a piece of heavy-weight paper or cover stock and push it through the printer in the same path. This will push out any bits of paper. * Turn the printer back on. Repeat the steps if the printer still alerts you to a paper jam.

I have an Oldsmobile alero 99 and the security light is constantly on however the car starts leading me to believe the security feature is not working. How can I fix the problem?

I wouldn't fix it if i was you.....I have a 2000 alero, and the security system (passlock) keeps it from starting often, and it seems to be a big problem with them. So if your security system isn't working but the car is running fine I wouldn't mess with it..
