i have a 95ta the "security" light used to come on with the rest of the lights on the dash when starting the car then would go off now it stays on the entire time the car is on any idea on whats causing this???

 

The resistor in your key is full of crud, and/or the workings of your lock tumbler in the steering column are going out.

Take it to a dealer to check out, and/or try alcohol on the key.

 

I got that light too.

Dealer, man are you rich or what? It can be bypassed, do a search for it, Or program it out.

I had mine programmed out via Tunercat, no I'm definately not rich. If you want it fixed though then you have to take it to a dealer for a new tumbler and/or set of keys, depending what the issue is.

 

thanks man....no one ever replys around here....after i get the car back from the "brake" dilemma ill try the alchohol a light aint worth going to the dealer tho.

 

So long as it only remains a light, and not an eventual "car wont start"... If you have any Tunercat friends it can be programmed out, I think the tumbler costs a couple hundred with the labor, Tunercat + cable would run less than that.

Good luck

 

My friend had the same problem! He just took his to the dealer(Jacksonville, NC) and they charge hom $275. $125 parts, $150 labor. Like they said you can just bypass it. There are 2 ways of doing this. Program it out of the ECM (but the light will still stay on in the dash) or put a resistor in line. If you want to know how to put the resistor in email me and I will explain how to do it.
