go to dealer and get a new ignition key .. the security chip contacts get wore down
over time causing poor contact in lock cylinder ..resulting in security light staying on .
had same problem with my formula a few years back .

Before you go buying new keys or lock cylinder do a little investigation work... you can check SHbox for the wiring info... then get a multimeter and check the resistance on your key itself. Then, put the key in the ignition and check the correct wire under the dash to see if your getting that same reading. If you get the same reading, its not your key or the cylinder. Start checking for wiring thats broke or maybe its your BCM/VATS module itself.
