1995 olds cutlass supreme 3.1 At first, when key is turned to start position, a rapid clicking would occur. Then sometimes nothing at all, then sometimes it was fine. REMEDY: Replace starter. Car started better, but probblem still existed. Then, today when key turned to start position, nothing at all. As if the battery was dead, but all my interior lights, radio, dash indicator lights work fine. REMEDY: Replace battery, check under hood fuses. Still nothing. The only noise from under the hood is the ABS breaker. Could you please help me!!! My security light is coming on as well. I wiped down the keys with the chip and it still comes on. Looks like I may have the same problem. Any idea if replacing the key cylinder is an expensive fix? Also (may be unrelated) the ABS Light always stays on. When I start the car it lights up and turns off, but once I hit 2-3 mph and the ABS kicks in (click sound from under the hood, sounds like it is from the passenger side) the light stays on. Any suggestions?
Sounds like carbon build up on the contacts inside the electrical ignition switch which is not the key cylinder. Its located on the lower steering coluum if coluum shift or if you have a floor shift it will be inside the console
SOURCE: car won't start!!!
mine is doing the same... all i did was reconnect the battery...and it worked fine...but know my hood wont open!!! so i cant fix the cable on the battery!!! i pull on the darn cable so hard and the hood still wont budge!!!

is this something that I could fix at home? Unfortunately I'm trying to fix as much stuff as I can myself, I'm manning the unemployed boat right now. If I could fix it, is there someplace that may show some pictures of what I am looking for? thanks
