not likely...the security light is related to the VATS system. your key might have gotten dirty (the little resistor part) or the ignition cylinder might be showing some wear (reading the wrong resistance). happened on my '99 and i couldn't get the f**ker to start. had to replace he ignition cylinder and get a new key...

I was readin that about the VATS. Also, my remote does not work anymore, stopped a few months ago, could that be related? Did you just get a new key from the dealer?

Remote just needs a new battery...try Radio Shack. My problem was with the part in the steering column that reads the key, not the key itself.
