SOURCE: wont start security light stays on

My girlfriend had the same problem, so we took it to the local dealer in Costa Mesa, CA and were told she needed a new engine to the tune of 5K. We decided to take it to our local mechanic and he discovered that the “ignition control box”, which apparently has the antitheft controls too and shuts the flow of gas to the engine because it thinks its being stolen when it malfunctions, was causing the starting problem. Once, the box was replaced it worked fine. Because the IBC controls antitheft, it will need to be “reprogrammed” be someone that has access to the proper equipment or the dealer. I think the whole thing was about $800 - $900. Sure beats $5,000

Hope this helps,
B

SOURCE: security light comes on and car doesn.t start

try another key. if this doesnt work the wire in the tumbler assembly most likely broke and you will need it replaced. ( Ignition Switch)

SOURCE: 2000 INTRIGUE WONT START.. ALL

Check your battery terminals. If it's anything like mine, then your positive (+) terminal is gone/bad.
I've replaced batter on mine 3 times so far, all thanks to the (+) terminal being bad.
Hope this helps.
Cheers !!!

SOURCE: my headlights wont work only my brights will come

The most likely culprit is a defective hi/low beam light switch.

Wont stay running for very long

run the fault codes and look for problems in the canister system. Sounds like the tank is not venting properly and creating a vacuum in the tank which is restricting fuel flow to the engine.

Hi, i have 1998 oldsmobile aurora my turning signal for the right side wont go off. it at a stand still. also sometime my security light comes on and wont go off.

Your ignition switch is bad, soon you will go out to start it and it won't start.These cars are known for bad ignition switches and ignition lock cylinders.

I have a 1999 aurora and sometimes it wont start for me until the security light stops flashing, and on the dash it reads clean key wait 3 minutes but sometimes it takes an hour before it starts again

Everything you need to know is on this site. I found this site here on Fixya when my car was doing the same "security" thing. Fixed mine for really cheap. Its funny cuz i just keep seeing the same problem come up over and over, so i guess i'll just keep reposting this link. Good luck. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

Blower motor does not operate right

This could also be a loose/poor connection from the control unit. I have had a similar issue. I know it is not thermal overload because sometimes the blower just doesn't come on when you start the car. A slap to the top of the dash board over the temperatures controls has got it going again.
