The security system will prevent the car from starting. Many cars can be reset by turning the car to the on position and then waiting until the light goes off. This can take up to 10 minutes. The problem will happen again. My son has this on his Malibu. We have used compressed air in the ignition and then sprayed the key with WD40 and slid it in and out of the ignition to try to clean the contacts inside. It seems to help but the security problem still happens on an infrequent basis.

Okay, here's what it might be and I have a 94 coupe with 148,000 miles and this was a nightmare. I checked everything from the battery to the starter, no such doing. Under the hood on the driver side you have a fuse box that is almost impossible to get at, if the car will take a jump, then you have the contacts to the fuse box terminal all corroded. My starter had 14 volts, so did the alternator, eliminated those. I would have this checked, even if the security light still comes on..

1993 pontiac grand prix wont start has battery but starter wont turn

First thing i would check is the security system. If the battery is good, and it feels like everything is normall except it just wont crank. It could be the security or the starter. Put your key in and try to start it, when it doesnt start, look for a light on the dash that says SECURITY this is a dead give away and you could find all the answers you may need on this link http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

My 1994 pontiac grand prix is not starting intermitently. My security light is on my dash and won't go off. It normally will start after a few minutes, but it is happening more and more. I got a new key...

There is no way to override the security system that I know of.You probably have a bad ignition cylinder.This is the part that the key goes into.Unless you know the resistance of that key and then you need to get a resistor of that resistance and put it in the wiring from the ignition cylinder on the wire that goes to the pcm.This will enable the pcm to allow fuel to the engine.Hope this helps.Good luck.

How can i bypass security on my 95 grand prix to get it to start

If your car has a resistor pellet in the key (looks like a chip) there is a definitive solution. This was the only way I was able to save my beloved 94 Park Avenue with the exact same security system: http://newrockies.com/vatsbypass
