It could be that your ignition switch is faulty.I have a 2002 alero and after lots of headaches with the security light and the car not starting .A friend of mine, who works at a local Gm dealer advised me to replace the ignition housing itself.On top of it there is a very small relay that could be the problem.My car has worked good ever since.Also be careful with remote car starters as well.They seem to mess up the security system.Especially with Alero,s.

How do you turn the security light off in an Oldsmobile Alero?

You really cant make the light shut off. I've had my security light come on a number of times. It is usually caused from the car not rolling over or starting up 'properly' and it could be from the ignition or the key itself. I usually wait about 10 minutes or so for the light to go off. Car starts right up.
