This problem is caused by the GM Theftlock system which is a security system that whenever the ignition is tampered with the vehicle cuts off fuel and refuses to start. The problem with this system is that there seems to be an issue in many GM vehicles where the system is faulty and constantly is tripping the system at random leaving owners stranded. The quick solution that is located in your owners manual is to leave your key in the "ON" position for appx 10 minutes until the "Security" or "Theft System" light stop blinking and become solid... then turn the key to "OFF" and attempt to restart the vehicle. This has never failed for me.. but is becoming annoying. My mother drives a 2004 Grand Am SE1 V6 and it has just started this problem... also I own a 2002 Chevrolet Malibu which started with this problem a few years ago which finally got fixed when I had my mechanic completely replace and re-key my ignition.. which may not be a solution for everyone.. but I am glad it worked for me.

It flashes 6 times, then the battery light comes on, then the security light flashes 6 more times. You have to make sure it stops flashing and just stays on. Then you can start your car. PS: If the engine does not start, then turn the ignition off to reset and then try to start it immedately. If this does not work try it again. It eventually starts, but patience is the key factor here.

Is there a security shut off switch of some sort on the 2003 Tahoe your Tahoe will not start all lights will come on but wont start?
The car won't start because of the security system. The security system will either have to be bypassed (there are kits available on Ebay sometimes and there are some websites that have them too) or replaced. The ignition key has a built in resistor that the security system checks when you try to start the car. If the security system doesn't recognize the resistance of the key it won't start the car. Then you have to wait 2 to 10 minutes before it will start ( sometimes it's a lot longer than 10 minutes). You could try getting a replacement key and see if the security system recognizes it better. GM installed security systems in their vehicles that are called Passkey I, II and III. So if you get a kit you have to know which system is in your vehicle.
Is there a reset for the fuel pump on a 1995 Chevy camaro I ran out of gas and the car won't start even with plenty of gas I don't hear the fuel pump when you turn the key?
I ran out of gas with my 95 camaro and filled it up and started fine. Sounds like it may be a bad fuelpump/relay or fuse. Check the fuse and the relay. Any luck on figuring this out? I'm about to spend a grand!
Your 2004 Chevy Malibu won't start tries to turn over but won't start will start with ether but won't stay running?

You removed your stock sterio now your 99 camaro wont start?
security feature built into headunit. take out the headunit and it disables the car. you have to go to a stereo shop and either get an adapter to bypass/or register this feature or just have the stereo shop put it in. if you put the factory radio back in and reset it following the steps in the owner's manual it should start again.
