So what you did to the relay that got your car started or just got rid of the security light?

took the starter relay out and put a jumper wire in so the circuit is always complete. It should crank but the security light will flash while the car is running though

I think its my starter, my security light goes off after the ignition is on but when I turn it all the way to start position it does nothing what could this be fellas?
By the way my starter was dragging before ,just never heard of it not doing nothing when trying to start.

Yes take the starter relay out and put a jumper wire in and see id it cranks. The security light tells the BCM not to engage the relay. So if your starter isnt doing anything thats most likely the reason. If not it may be a bad starter.

I put a jumper wire in and and it worked intermittently too. I ended up buying the vats bi-pass system from Baker Electronics for $24.99. Very simple install. Installed today so I'll keep this thread updated on the results.

So far, so good ! My car has been starting every time with no problems. Seems to me the Baker Electronics vats bypass worked.

Can the security light be unplugged, taken out so you don't see it anymore?

You can take the gauge cluster out and then take the bulb out
