Just so I am clear on what the issue is, you are able to always start the vehicle but the security light comes on and flashes for 10 minutes and then it goes off and you can start the vehicle?
If this is the case, then the key or ignition switch is not recognizing each other as programmed to the vehicle. So the fact that it is taking 10 minutes to stop flashing is actually the GM self learn delay process. So you put a key in the ignition and turn it on for 10 minutes and then you are able to start the vehicle.
When you replaced the ignition switch did you run the programming process? If not, that may be your issue. I am attaching below all the info needed. The last page contains the steps for the programming.
Let us know what happens with this. Thanks
