Hey, my car wont start! The battery, altenator, and starter are all good. When i put my key in to the ignition and turn it, the engine does nothing. Some light on the cluster come on. The security light flashes, and the check engine light flashes, then the check engine becomes solid! Ive checked all the fuses but idk what's going on!

The fact that the security light is flashing is telling you the system in armed not allowing the engine to crank over. Try locking and unlocking the car using the remote this should reset the system. If it does not try the spare key in the ignition and finally hard reboot the system by removing the negative battery cable and hold it to the positive terminal to discharge the capacitors in the system.
