Ok, I had a bad ignition switch so I replaced it. The problem is now the security (stock) kicked in and the car won't start. The reason I had to put a new one in is because the key would not turn anymore. I have been putting grafite powder in it for the last few months and it wont turn at all so I replaced it. I turned the new switch, the radio and all light came on then tried to crank the car and it just turns over but won't start and is blinking security. How do you reset this or work around for it. Thanks for any help on this.

Have 2001 grand am similar problem. We put the key in, turn to acc, wait 10 15 + minutes, most of the time this starts it, but does not solve the issue.I drive it daily with this going on. Just try to be calm, till I find the real problem, looks like dealer thing, but too many of these cars do the same thing, may need recall.
