Default Hard Startup....Security

Have a 99 Trans Am A4...upon regular startup cold or not...when i turn the key over nothing happens as if its a dead battery. when this happens the security light comes on. if i release key and try again it will either do nothing or start then die....upon third try it wil startup. I talked to Dealer and they say they can fix it for 250-300. Is there anyway i can figure out the problem instead of the dealer diagnosing it? any help is appreciated thanks

Sounds like it's not recognizing the key. Could be dirty key, ignition switch, wiring, etc. Search for VATS bypass or security light.
