Default Security light on?

I've never had this light on before. Never seen it on my 97 ws6. I just bought a 00 formula and it has the light on. The remote works so what's the problem? I don't have the owners manuel, I'd check there. The horn has an issue could that be it?

Its the VATS (vehical anti-theft system). Trying cleaning the chip on the key with some rubbing alcohol. I had this a couple months ago and it would not even let me start the car. Do a search and you will find alot on this issue.
