Security Light

I currently own a 1994 Camaro Z28 and I love it, but as of yesterday it has stopped starting. For some reason, the security light on the dash has come on. I don't think it is a problem with the key (cleaning the key is a solution the owner's manual suggests) because I backed it up out of the garage and then, when I went to pull it in, it wouldn't start.

How do I reset or turn off this security system so this car starts again?

Do a search for vats bypass and you will find the answer. Pretty easy to do.

Thanks. I didn't even know what to search for on Google, so I didn't get a whole lot of results...

Well unfortunately I don't have a resistor lying around the house, nor do I have the ability to get the resistance value from the key.

Am I stuck taking it to the dealer or making a new key?

Sometimes a new key doesnt fix it. I got resistance to my key by getting a maintence man at my work to check it with his ohm meter. I went to radio shack and got the resistors I needed to make it work.

Well, thanks, it appears I'll just have to get it towed to the dealership and they can fix it there.

Thanks again.

I really hope you can fix this yourself or at least have a friend help you. Towing a car to a dealership and having them fix it is going to cost you huge.

Turns out the starter needed to be replaced...

The security light was on, but it was because starter was just defective....

$300 later and at least it will work...
