Tried to jump a dead battery, was trying to turn over now it won't make a sound and the SECURITY light on my console keeps flashing, but the radio and
lights work. Any ideas why it won't start

Sounds like a VATS issue to me.

Starter relay? try changing that out with one of the relays for your fan. It may fix your problem.

see if the voltage drops when you try to crank, if it does, then starter may just be bad, or engine could be seized (hope not). If voltage does not drop then its not putting load on starter and should look at stuff already mentioned above, relay, vats, fuse, make sure wires on starter are good, ignition switch. You can also hot wire the starter directly to make sure starter is good
