I bought the car two months ago. Today as I was driving I could here a ticking noise coming from the passenger side of the dash. Not long after the dome and door lights started to flash along with the tick. they will flash for awhile and then go off. I went to autozone and had them plug it up and they said it wasnt pulling any codes. I changed the fuse, but it continued to do it the rest of the way home. Any suggestions?
The ticking noise will be from a faulty relay and will not be covered by codes. At best you will have to locate the clicking relay and replace it . IT will have something to do with the interior lights ,door switches and may be the light control module.

Probably nothing to worry about, new brake pads take a little time to adjust. If the problem doesn't go away within a few hundred miles, then I would have a look at the brake job

Okay, lets hope it is something simple. Remove the underhood light bulb. At night, in the dark, start the engine and look under the hood. You may be able to see sparks jumping. This would be bad wires. If you can see where the spark plugs go and one has a spark jumping it is just one bad sparkplug. Turn off car-replace underhood bulb.
If you see no sparks then it is most likely the valve train. If you have adjustable lifters they need someone to tighten them up to specifications. If they are not adjustable you may need to replace worn parts.
Make sure you keep fresh and plenty of oil in the engine. It can not repair worn parts but if the oil is low or dirty you will have bigger problems.

Replace your "flasher relay, also know as a "blinker relay".Your local auto part store should carry them.

Usually the security light means it can't read the chip in the key.. the little black chip at the base of the key.
Try using a spare key
