Security light on Dashboard of 1996 Buick Regal 3.8

I was driving my car and suddenly the Security LED on my dashboard came on. The car runs, starts fine. Anything to worry about? What should I do to ensure safety and starting of the car. Is ther anything I can look for. The car once had an alarm system, but since has been disarmed.

I have a very similar issue, the car will only start with one set of keys or with the remote starter. It won't start with the second set of keys and the Security light stays on all the time. Anyone know how to reset the security system on this thing?

Thanks,

Engine starts, runs 4 to 5 seconds and shuts off. Engine will immediately restart and run 4 to 5 seconds and shut off. Dashboard is showing no codes being activated.

Is the security light flashing? It sounds like a problem with the security system.

2000 Buick Regal LS 3.6 - Flashing Dashboard Lights/Wont start

Most likely it is the ignition switch (the key ignition switch) in the steering column ($100 at a dealer).

It may be a loose negative battery ground cable, too.
Check the negative battery cable where it conencts to the engine ground. It may be loose, corroded, damaged, or otherwise not making a good ground contact.

Add a grounding strap ($11 - AutoZone) from the engine to the chassis. That may help, but it's most likely the ignition switch.

Buick Regal 2001 LS dashboard lights flash off and on

It turned out the ground wire to the battery was loose, Evidently, it loosened up when driving so mimiced the earlier symptoms because it connection was sporadic. I hooked up to a computer to verify after connection tightened and it came away with no errors or problems.
