It's a flaw in the passlock system, I've had it happening on my 2002 intrigue for a couple years where 'randomly' the security light will go on and the car will not start.
What I have to do is leave the key in the ON position for about 10 min. and when the security light goes on solid (stops blinking) you turn the key to the off position for like 5 seconds and then the car will start. Some kind of override I guess a thief would not wait there 10 min.
Totally sucks but I'm sure it costs too much to fix - seems to happen allot one month and then goes away for a while and then starts up again.
Apparently allot of GM's have this problem but it's quite random, some cars have it and some don't - never happened on my 99 intrigue except one time after the battery was dead.
Good luck
I've had this problem where I couldn't start my car and it turns out it was because the security light was on. To fix it: Place the key in the ignition and turn it one rotation (so battery is on) then leave it in the ignition for 10 minutes. Restart car and security light will be off.... also car will start!
When your security light comes on and your car will not start, turn you key to the on position and wait 10 minutes. The light will go off and you need to turn the key to the off position, then restart your car.
Yes to bypass,Press on the brake, turn car to as then on let the carburetor fill then, put the car in neutral,then start. If the security light is flashing, the car will not start for 10 minutes. Do not try to start while light is flashing.
Mine started when it wanted, try cutting a new key if ur security light pops on.
do not start vehicle but turn key to on position then off three times and on that third time leave it on the "on" position takes 10 to 15 minutes to reset the security light should stop blinking.

beCause you have activated the security anti theft deterent that keeps people from stealing your Oldsmobile or Buick that's why you have a chip on your key and that's why the car makes a dinging noise when the ignition is switched into the on position. beCause you have activated the security anti theft deterent that keeps people from stealing your Oldsmobile or Buick that's why you have a chip on your key and that's why the car makes a dinging noise when the ignition is switched into the on position.
if the light goes off it's probably the starter...
security light on 1998 s10 start but cut off
To reset the security light on an Oldsmobile vehicle, first the driver must turn the key to the "on" position, without starting the engine. Next, he or she should turn the key to attempt to start the engine, but not completely, so that it doesn't start before moving the key back to the "on" position. After about 12 minutes, the light will?æbe reset, and the key should be removed.?æ

The red light indicates a failure in the security system. It will not start with a failure.
