The wires behind dash go bad on several different cars that have security systems. In return you can try one trick and if it doesn't work, it will require a mechanic to take dash apart and unfortunately it's not cheap.
The trick I've done is to reset the system by unplugging your battery and leaving it off for about 20 minutes... Then reattach neg and pos back to battery and see if this solved it... Hope all works out...

Question edited for clarity and add maker.
Question moved to model category.

LoVe ThE Script kiddie way you spelled your NaMe TiNa. I haven't seen that since the 1990s :>D

Yes there is. Did you disconnect the battery?

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start).
  3. Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF.
  4. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds .

96 Monte carlo z34 won't crank over unless I jump

Sounds like a problem with the key switch, probably the security system. You may only have power to the fuel pump when the engine is cranking.
Is the security light on or flashing ?

My 97 monte carlo wont start i turn the key on and the only thing that turns on is the fuel pump we check the starter and it is fine we changed out the ignition switch and it still wont start when we turn...

try this-make sure the battery is in good condition (charge it if you can) turn everything off (radio, heater/ac/fan, no interior lights)-turn the key on (not start and leave it on for 15 minutes-without turning it off after 15 minutes, turn it to crank-if it is your security system it should start. You have a security module that, over time, is not happy anymore with the feedback it is getting from your ignition switch, and it is disabling your starter. There are a number of fixes ans work arounds for this, but sometimes if you can get it to start it delays the eventual total failure for a while. Try this first, then get back to see if we can help more.

I PURCHASED A 1999 MONTE CARLO, THE SECURITY LIGHT IS FLASHING AND THE CAR WON'T START

this should be an easy fix, get in your car and turn the key to the on position until all the lights come on and leave it on for 10 minutes and after that turn the key to the off position for 3 seconds and then it should start, this will reset your security system allowing your car to start. hope this helps.
