The security, antitheft or lock picture/icon 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 misinterprets 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. This link explains it pretty well. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/

Does your car normally require pressing the brake in order to shift from park? If so, perhaps the brake interlock switch is misadjusted or failing.

sounds like water pump or fan pulleys

u need a new parkpawl witch is mounted on the wiper motor. wiper linkage connects to it.

Rarely does the turn signal switch cause this problem, but it happens. Get to the switch and unplug it first. If it still happens , then it is in the wires, something shorted to give power the the wiper motor. If it stops, replace the turn signal switch.

Does it give a misfire or just, system to rich? If it gives you a cylinder number trying switching a injector, if the code jumps to cyl where you swapped, replace injector.

Scan for codes there a reason the fuses blew, just replacing them isn't always the answer. If they blow again you've got a wiring issue.

Hope this helps, good luck

You've most likely got a defective abs sensor. Check plugs/wiring at each wheel. That will happen if abs module sees no movement from one of your wheels. It's consantly monitoring wheel movement. If you use a scanner you can narrow it down very quick. Without a scanner it's tough. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/rodger_15a879d9d9556eea

Washer fluid pump is not a question.

It is usually the taillight fuse .If your tail lights work, turn the dimmer wheel up for interior lights

could be the steering box or gear... check there for the noise. You really can't tell where noise comes from from inside a car. They can be very transient

You don't give enough detals . Is it after market? Is it part of the on star system? If it is a primary onstar system.. the connection is located in the trunk, where the harness unplugs. That will disable the use of the navigation but the car is permanantly wired to give off gps siganal if it is equipped with onstar.
