Stops after 10 minutes light flashing - Frigidaire Affinity 5.8 Cu. Ft. Gas Dryer

Sounds like you need to do a 30 minute security relearn. Basically turn the key to the run position, do not start. Leave it in the run position for approximately 10 minutes. The flashing security light will go out. Turn the key off for 5 seconds. Turn it back to the run position for another 10 minutes. Again the light will stop flashing. Tune the key off and repeat one more time. When the light stops flashing turn the key of and then start the vehicle.

There are also plenty of references to this online as well. Good luck.

I OWN a 2001 Olds Alero and the same thing happens to mine.. It's an easy fix..
1. Turn the Key to ACC (keep it in this mode for the entire 10 minutes).
2. The security light on the Dashboard will flash for exactly 10 minutes..
3. Once the 10 mins are over, the security light will stay solid..
Wait for the red light to disappear off the dashboard...
YOU ARE NOW READY TO TURN YOUR CAR OFF AND RESTART YOU CAR....

SIMPLE FIX..
I DO THIS ALL THE TIME TO MINE..

Insert ignition key,turn forwards to run. Just till red lights & theft/alarm light goes on. Do not try to start or engage starter.Leave on till light stops flashing. It may take up to 10 minutes. Once light stops flashing turn key off. Then start car & let run for awhile.

turn the key on and wait till the security light stops flashing ( this could take as long as 30 minuets ) then turn the key off then back on but do not try to start the engine and wait till the security light stops flashing ( again this could take as long as 30 minuets ) then turn key off then turn key on and start engine.

this process will take about half an hour to doyou might want to put a battery charger on it on the low setting because if the battery dies in process u have to start over.first thing is try to start car,it might start then stall,when that happens leave the key in the on position and the security light will be flashing and it will keep doin it for 10 minutes,then it will stay on solid,when it does that turn the key off for 2 seconds then turn it to the on position anfd the light will be flashing agian for 10 minutes,then it will be on solid,then turn the key off for 2 seconds and then back on and 10 minutes later when it stops flashing this time u should be able to start it and the light should be off,hope this helps

Here is what you do, but only when the SECURITY light flashes - if it is always ON or OFF it's no use.
Turn the key in the ignition to ON.
Wait for exactly 10 minutes ( SECURITY light will flash for 10 minutes and then stay on SOLID)
Turn the key to OFF
Wait 5 seconds.
Turn the key in the ignition to ON.
Wait for exactly 10 minutes.
Turn the key to OFF
Wait 5 seconds.
Turn the key in the ignition to ON.
Wait for exactly 10 minutes.
Turn the ignition OFF.

Start the car normally.
It has relearnt the keycode and you're good to go.
NOTICE - it takes 30 minutes to relearn, that's THREE cycles of ON - 10 minutes - OFF.

Good luck.

If you want to initiate a new master key.... 1. Insert new key into ignition cylinder and turn it to the ON (RUN) position. The security light on the dash will flash for fifteen minutes.
2. When the security light stops flashing, you have FIVE minutes to start the next step. Turn the ignition cylinder OFF and then back to the ON (RUN) position. The security light on the dash will flash for fifteen more minutes.
3. When the security light stops flashing, you have FIVE minutes to start the next step. Turn the ignition cylinder to OFF and then back ON (RUN) position. The dash will flash for fifteen more minutes.
4. After the security light stops flashing the third time, the new key has been programmed into the vehicles computer and will operate the car. It has replaced ALL the previous electronic key codes and is the ONLY key programmed into the vehicles computer.

The dealership should be able to do this for you without a current key, of course this means towing the vehicle to them. See if they will sell you a key and you program it yourself.

hope this helps. I found the above info at FordF150.net

The problem is the new PCM you installed does not have the correct VIN number of your car.
You may be able to relearn the VIN using the preceedure below, however, there is no gaurentee it will work. You may have to have a dealer reset the VIN for you by way of a scan tool.

1) Instert key into ignition and rotate to run position (do not try to start engine)
2) Leave the key in the run position for 10 minutes until security light stops flashing.
3) Turn ignition key to off position for 10 seconds ( no more, no less)
4) Turn ignition to run position again for 10 minutes until security light stops flashing and repeat step 3 and 4 for (1) more cycle.

The process is a security verification step for the VTD system. ( Vehicle Theft Deterent)

Give it a try, let me know.
Regards,

your ignition switch is bad for now though turn your key on for at least ten minutes until the light stops flashing this will reset your security system after stops flashing turn key off and then start the truck

there is a computer chip in the lock cylinder that goes bad ,so change the key and cylinder,then leave new key on until the light stops flashing about ten minutes this will set your new key to the security system hope this helps
