security!
ok sorry....I would say im not totally sure but there are alot of provisions in the pcm that once certain things are triggered it will ahve to be reset by the dealer....at least thats what happened with my buddies vette....something went hay wire and the car thought it had been "stolen" so it like shut something down and was un driveable until he had it towed to the dealer and they reset something.

Sounds like the car isn't recognizing the resistance in the key pelet. First thing I'd try is cleaning it/trying a spare key. If the security light still keeps coming on search the site for VATS bypass, or have it fixed, or turned off with tuning.

That happens to me every once in a while and I talked to a dealership about it and they said something about it being the ignition switch. When it happens just take the key out and let it sit for 5 minutes and the light will go off and it will start
