I had the same problem 6 months ago it would go out after 10 minutes of driving then it perpetually stayed on then one day i went to gas my car up and when i turned the key nothing i thought it was my alarm i thought it was the factory alarm turns out it was the pass through anti theft alarm so after having it towed and an 150 + dollar fix it good as new turns out the wire that conects the leads between the chip on your key and the system itself is thin really thin and sometimes snaps after wear and tear you could either replace the whole thing which is around 400 new set of keys new ignition or just resolder and strengthen the wire

What causes the security light to light up and how do you take it off on a 1991 Camaro?
The VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) causes the Security light to go on. If the security light is on (besides for a brief moment when starting the car/turning the key), and you cannot start your car, it has to do with the resistor chip in your key. That's the black rectangular piece of plastic with a metal strip in the middle of it. Camaro ignitions need to match an electrical value to the value of the chip in your key to start the car. I believe there are 15 values ranging in ohms. When the ignition and the chip register the same value, you can start the car. If they don't, then you cannot. When you cannot start the car and the security light is on, that means that the ignition and the chip in the key either do not match or one is not registering. I had this problem in my camaro and had to wire a resistor into the VATS wire to bypass the system....basically, it thinks whatever key I use always has the correct value. Resistors are very cheap and you can do this yourself, I had a guy come out and do it just to make sure everything was right.

it might be the chip in the key. i know it does it in later model cars.
Why would the security light on a 1994 Camaro Z28 stay on but the car does run.?
My guess is that maybe a relay or fuse has went bad in the electrical system, causing the security light to stay on constantly, therefore leaving a circuit open. This could be draining your battery, which is why your car is dead.

Why does security light come on and not let the car turn on 2003 Chevy Camaro?
is a security feature/ anti theft. usually there is a crimped wire in the steering column that needs repaired, or in the case of my 93 it is the switch itself that has gone bad
