I drove my car last night and everything was fine and got up this morning and tried to start it, and got nothin. You can hear the relays clicking, battery has full charge and holds 12 volts starter has 12 volts and only got a 5 volt reading on the selenoid. Another thing is that my antenna for my radio wont come up either so I am wondering either starter or something in the ingnition any help is greatly appreciated.

Or could it be something with the stock anti car theft security??

Did you verify your outputs on the ignition switch?

If your security light is flashing then it is not seeing the proper key signal. First check the wiring to the ignition switch/lock cylinder, sometimes those wires have a tendency to break. If there are no broken wires, chances are your ignition switch is not reading the key signal. It could also be a bad key, if you have a spare key- try it.

i had a problem once with the security light on my s10... all i did was unhook the battery and connected it... maybe resets the computer or something but i had done that a couple times... maybe give that a try?
