Default securety light stays on in 98 trans am?

The securety light went on on the dash. Its a steady light (doesnt blink). The alarm in the car functions fine. What can I do to correct this.

thanks in advance

wait till it wont start and leave you stranded somewhere see if dont matter

get it fixed, probably a key/ignition/resistor problem

I couldnt tell you, but i've had it happen to me about 6 times. Wait about 5 mins, the light will go off, then you can start it. I couldnt tell you what causes it, though.
