How to Get Security Light Out?
How to Get Security Light Out? Any ideas? I thought I would ask before I go into it and break it. I am going to have to find a new one to. That should be a fun thing to find. I guess I should just go down to my dealership to get one!
call the dealer, they ask for your vin. they give you a series of buttons to push that show a 3 digit number. With that 3 digit number the dealer tells you the secret handshake off buttons to press unlocking your stereo.

Assuming you're asking about the stereo TheftLock, there is a bypass method in this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/wiring-stereo-electronics/113479-how-turn-off-theft-lock.html
If you're refering to the security light on your dash, it can be caused by a number of different problems but usually by the resistor in the key being dirty.

I had this happen to me about 3 months ago. It stated out with just the light. The car ran fine, with no problems for about 2 weeks. Then after a while the car wouldn't start on occaison, then finally would start at all. So I had it towed to the dealer and they had to replace the ignition switch. If I were you i would get it looked at.
Our dash light operations must differ. On my 00 Formula the owners manual says the Thektlok stero when activated is indicated by a blinking red light on top of the dash. This is true in my car. And all my car has is the stero - no alarm is armed making that light blink. The Camaro red light must have a different signal. What does the owner manual say it's purpose is?

What exactly is happening with the security light? Is it on solidly all the time? Does it blink? Only when you start the car? I have the diagnostic section of the service manual so I might be able to give you some idea where to look.

That is what I was referring to. I played around with my alarm settings and it is now blinking. I don't know what mode I had set wrong, but it is working now. Thanks everyone for the advice and troubleshooting!
