Hey here are a few similar things, cause my firebird is doing the same thing to me... I found this Q: 96 s10 that was running fine but recently had trouble with ignition When the key was turned to on position no lights turn on but if you turn it farther than the starter turns but the car doesn't start? First answer by 72.242.81.57. Last edit by Baldfatguy. Contributor trust: 47 [recommend contributor]. Question popularity: 1 [recommend question] Answer Check to see if it has a rod coming out of the bottom area of steering column--controlled by ignition switch that may have become mal-adjusted or bent Answer I'd start with the ignition switch.... Q: 1994 Camaro ignition Security light My 1994 Camaro is in San Jose with this problem and they are hoping to figure this out.....they say that the most common problem with this is that there is a wiring problem that has either shorted out/disconnected or the ignition system is just not reading the "chip" in the key itself and it may be in need of repair......I'll find out more today as they, at this moment are "looking at it now"........We'll see! I'll hopefully find out the true answer today and I'll post it here..........also let you you know what it cost me for this answer!!!!!!!! ==Headline== A: The problem with the camaro was that the connector to the ignition switch literally came apart-broke off-whatever....anyway the fix was to solder the wire back to the switch and its now as good as new! with my '96 Grand Prix, I had this happen 3 or 4 times, after a new alternator and battery... i read on here to spray brake cleaner into the ignition itself ie: where the key goes. Make sure it's a cleaner that won't leave a residue. Spray until it runs clear. Make sure to protect the carpet... like use a big rag under the steering column. I took about 5 minutes to run clear with mine. It hasn't not started since. that was in June/July of '08 Now Nov and no problems.

If it is flashing when the truck is locked from the outside with the remote then it is because the alarm is activated (which happens when you press the lock button twice in most vehicles). Othewise there may be some other issue that you should have checked out by a Chevy dealer.

Do batteries have to be replaced simultaneously with alternators. I replaced my alternator but was told it likely damaged the old battery so I'll need to replace it. True?
No, the battery may be defective and the alternator may be just fine or vice versa. Saying that if the alternator was overcharging the battery it may very well have destroyed a good battery. Just have the battery checked at any auto parts store.
