Sounds like the same problem I had on my '99 ws6, it was just a fuse or something in the passlock, I had it flat bedded to the dealer, I don't think there is anyway around it, but I'm not sure??

of course make sure the battery is charged/connections are good on the battery and the starter. Usually if its the passkey the security lite will flash. You can easily delete passkey with hp tuners/ls1 edit. There is also a way to measure the resistance of your key and buy a resistor and splice into the line that goes to the ignition cylinder.

Yeah, the security light is on. TTP supposedly deleted that function however? i checked the battery and the starter i doubt is the issue.
