I was driving with my wife for about 40 minutes when the security light came on and stayed on all the way home. I parked, turned the car off and restarted the car. All of the lights came on as they are supposed to and went out once the car was running. This never happened before. Strange!!
You probably are about to have an issue with your VATSS system and need to look into having your ignition switch changed.
SOURCE: security light stays on
First place to check would be a fuse. See if there is one labled security or alarm. If there is try changing that.

I found the following description on the web, this covers a bunch of the questions I was going to ask...
I own a 2000 Silo and wondered the same thing and do see some GM vans with this problem.
When I bought mine I also bought the Haynes Repair manual (1997
thru 2001 all models GM) #38036 to learn how to fix this and a LOT of
other components in/on the van.
For $20 it's worth it.
To answer your question: If the wipers stop at the position
they're in when the switch is turned off (Fail to park), disconnect the
multi-function switch electrical connector. (This is located under the
dash next to the firewall and steering column)
If the wipers now park, replace the multi-function switch. If the
wipers still do NOT park, check the wiring from the wiper motor to the
switch for a short circuit. If the circuits are good, replace the wiper
motor.
Note: There are other adjustments needed for proper operation than just bolting and new motor on.
You can have a look at this manual at any automotive parts supply store.

The problem is the car think the park brake is on (intermittently). I would check the park brake switch, perhaps it's loose, or perhaps the park brake is pushed down to the first "click" spot. Also check the wiring connection to the switch, and the wiring nearby. Good luck!
SOURCE: how to replace a coolant level sensor, 2000 buick century
The coolant level sensor is located on the radiator. If you are looking at the engine from the front of the car it will be on the left side. There will some kind of clip holding it in the radiator. Removed the clip and pull the sensor out. You will lose coolant so try to swap it out quick or drain some of the coolant out. Once new sensor is installed, install clip to keep the sensor in place and reconnect the wires to the sensor. Crank the engine and make sure the coolant level is full. This should correct your problem.

The TCC solenoid in the transmission needs to be replaced. This is a common problem that requires removal of the side cover of the transmission. You can unplug the wires at the front of the transmission and drive it until you get it fixed but you will not have over- drive lock- up convertor. This will result a drop in fuel mileage,
