Secuirty Light Stays On
The security light on my '98 has recently started to stay on after I start
the engine. What it does is come on after I have been driving a few miles. What kind of problem would this indicate? My alarm arms and disarms fine. Thanks, John

Check to see if the resistor is "squished" on your key. It may be ok to
start for a while but then if that's the case you'll be dealing with the column lock bug. Try using your other key and see what happens. -Stan ""Key" > wrote in message ... > "Z’RiX" > wrote in message > news:2wugf.11004$xu.2720@fed1read01... >> None for me It is just on... >> >> -- >> Z’RiX (<>..<>) > > if its on ? it usually throws up a code. > there are so many things that can cause the security light to come on.. > > -- > "Key" > >> "Dad" > wrote in message >> ... >>> What code does it set? >>> >>> "Z’RiX" > wrote in message >>> news:mKtgf.10421$xu.4435@fed1read01... >>>>I would like to here an answer to this as I have the same problem... >>>> >>>> -- >>>> Z’RiX (<>..<>) >>>> "AnytimeAnywhere" > wrote in message >>>> news:TG4gf.11214$a62.2127@trnddc07... >>>>> The security light on my '98 has recently started to stay on after I >>>>> start >>>>> the engine.

I have new keys but sometimes with any of my keys new and old I turn the key
and dash light go seat moves but it will not crank so I pull it out put it in and try again and agin untill it starts and other time it starts the first time no problem... My understanding this has been the nature of this car for atleast 4 years... when the dealer did the column they said the the tumbler was worn some but the electrical was good, They did not open up housing they just ran test on the wires... -- ZyRiX (<>..<>)

do NOT use wd-40. it isn't for locks. it is a water displacement material,
and the leftovers will gunk up locks.
