Have the battery load tested for 10secs won't hold over 9.6 volts replace it, make sure the battery is cleaned and properly tightened.

Already did that. The security light is on and is not allowing car to start. Can not get the security light to go off. It acts as though it is not reading the chip on the key. Have replaced the ignition switch still the security light is still on. Any how do I get rid of it. Thanks so much for your help.

The wire broke to the sensor that controls the temp gauge an the dash. Does the part on the engine screw out or pull out? Got to it but unable to turn it any suggestions on how to get it out? Thank you for the help.
