After crash air bag liite is on 1995 chevy lumina need toplug in used air bags

Nothing will happen including air bag operation in the future. Air bag system is disabled by the computer any time the light is on. Probably have damaged sensor wires or sensor in the front due to previous front end damage. If a body shop repaired your car, take it back and demand they fix your car properly as this is part of the job.
NOTE: Before installing the air bags be sure to disconnect the battery "and" remove the air bag fuse and wait at least 3 minutes before working with the system. Safety first !!!12_24_2012_6_19_01_pm.png

Will replacing the brain box on my 98 lumina solve the fact my car wont start

The security light is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most
GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you
put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security
chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module).
These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending
signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second.
When the signal breaks, the car misinterperates this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode.
The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key.
This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. Remember too, the TDM controls the
security light. Sometimes you can have ALL the symptoms and no lights. This link explains it pretty well.

99 chevy lumina wont crank!

you probably have a broken wire in the ignition that reads the resistance in the chip in the key. there are two wires that attach the ignition switch to the security system.I had the same problem and it can be easily fixed by putting a resister in place of the chip in the key.any garage that puts alarm systems in cars will be able to do this very easily and very economically.
