I need help ASAP! drove my 96 Z over a friends and it will not start. all the electronics turn on(radio,AC,ect.) but the car wont turn over... there is however a orange "security light" on my cluster that is on now also... i need to get home now! please help any ideas.

--i have already tried killing the power from my battery for 30 minutes... didnt work

 

maybe a vats problem?

 

Sounds like the resistor in your key or the ignition cylinder is worn out. I have this problem every so often. I get out of it one of two ways. I use the remote start, put my key in, turn it to run and hit the brakes to shut off the remote start system. OR i use my spare key. Hope this helps.

 

my spare key is about 50 miles away in my room....and the key i have is a fairly NEW key....still not starting....

 

?

 

I had the same problem, how many times have you tried to turn it over? After about 30 tries it started right up, but once I started it up i had to try and crank it about 30 more times for it to start again once i turned it off, the dealer said it was a problem with the security system, plus i had a bad starter.
Hope this helps.

 

when you stick your key in and turn it on, does the light blink?

 

I have a smilar problem with my '93. Sometimes when I drive it, the security light comes on and stays on for the duration of the trip. I do NOT have an alarm on it. The car always starts though....

 

nope....just a steady on
