Default crazy ****

I've started noticing my car doing some weird stuff. First off with the keys in the switch the little buzz or whatever you want to call it that lets you know the keys are in kind of fades in and out and quits and starts back and if you shut the door and watch it the dome light will go in and out instead of slowly fading straight down like it should it flickers on and off like a loose connection until it fades completely down. Does anyone know what this could be?

I'm having the same issue as well. In addition to that, my SECURITY light stays on. I'm betting it's got something to do with our lock cylinders...

I wonder if bypassing the security system would cure it?

I.......doubt it, because the door chime, lights and all of that stuff rely on the car sensing the key in the ignition. What I see is our cars randomly seeing the keys and not, which explains why the door chimes and lights keep blinking in and out. I say lock cylinder, unless someone else says otherwise...
