Default Vats or ignition switch !! Need help fast

Ok I got a tune scheduled Wednesday morning and I was cruising Sunday night and after a turn my car shut off and now won't start... The fuel pump won't prime but the car will crank over. And when it shut off it was hard for my key to turn off then back on like it got stuck almost I checked grounds on back of head all 3 are tight and One of my friends suggested its an ignition switch but also another said vats ? I have a viper alarm with Autostart also but have had it for 2 years no problems. What the hell could this be ? Also all lights work interior and exterior radio ext. but the service engine light under tach came on and the security light is also on but has been on for a few months

My friend has a problem with his ignition switch sticking. I told him to replace it before he gets stuck somewhere..If it is a vats problem then your security light will blink or stay on.Is your security light on ?
