I'm not a moderator but I had the same problem with my 97 trans am. the security light was on for a while then one day I turned the key and nothing. Not even a click. It was a wire in the ignition switch, shut down the VTD system. Just a thought. good luck.

if you leave the key to the "run" position for 10-15 mins this should shut off the security light and then maybe yo will be able to start the car...

good luck
