The security system (VATS/PassKey) is having problems, it's typical on those cars. It starts with just the security light on, and then it gets worse and randomly the car won't start and to the point that it won't start anymore. You can find a great write-up here: http://newrockies.ca , it was the only thing that saved my Park Avenue.

This car is equipped with Passlock antitheft security by GM. You dont have a chip, but there is a transponder in the key head. This system is known to fail. The fact that the security light is on proves the failure of the Passlock and why it wont run. The hard part is finding out which part of the passlock system has failed. Read this link for info and DO IT YOURSELF solutions to the problem.

If the security light is on, then it can only be one thing. The security system is failing and immobilizing your car. Go to this link and read up on the problem. The security light is a dead give away that the security is messed up. If you have no little black chip in the shaft of your key, then this means you must have a passlock that runs on the transponder. You need the PERMANENT fix from this site. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

Security light won allow startup

sounds like the 2 wires on the lock cyl are broken you have to remove steering wheel, lock plate and turn signal switch to get to the lock cyl then the 2 wires run from the key lock cyl to under dash so you will have to run them into the steering column you do need special tools to replace the lock cyl

SL2 ? 2000 starting problem

I had the same problem at one time and what the problem was is a short or an exposed wire connected to the starter which causes the voltage to fluctuate which in turn activates a security feature that stops the flow of fuel to the injectors. The car actually senses the possibility of a spark which could possibly ignite the fuel and be a fire hazard. If you turn the ignition on and off repeatedly after a certain amount of time the car will start and run fine. It is a very intermittent problem.
