Security Light Blinking after car is started???

**nickdemio** · 03-24-2011

Can anybody tell me why my security light is still blinking after the car is started?? but after i drive the car for awhile(atleast 30mins) it cuts off. Note: I dont have a Lock/Unlock Remote for the car! Any help would be appreciated.

your key is probally old and worn down and your car cant read the code on it id suggest using one of your spare keys it could also be that you un hooked the battary with the lockout on

Ok...cuz the car lot i got the car from gave me a copied key(it looks like) and they must have the original key still..just incase the have to repo it, if i miss a payment. Is there anywhere i can buy a original key for it??? or should i ask the car lot for it?

get a key programed for it you can do it yourself if you get a key that has a code on it I did it once I forget where I found the direction

you can search ebay for a new key but you need to know the oms of the old key so you get the right one, (oms you need to touch both sides of the chip in the key, and the reading is your keys oms), then when you get it you need to get it cut.

i paid 9 bucks for mine, and 1 dollar to have it cut. or you could go to the dealer and pay 30 or better.

Thanx for the info guys...it was really helpful!

I just called the GM dealership and the said the copied key i have has to have a chip in it & be programed cuz it wouldnt start if i didnt. So my next guess would be the stock alarm that comes on the car..but i dnt have the remote for it..

ebay is your friend again here, you can get a new/used fob for your car for any were from 15, to 45 bucks

i got a used one for $15

Remember though, in 2000 if i'm not wrong they went from a resistance type system to a transponder type system.

Whiney...whats the difference between the two??

**Scottydoggs** · 03-25-2011

all you need to do is search for your year car and you should be ok, most of the sellers will tel you how to figure out witch key you have/need, or hit up the dealership, but they will charge more.

Just check your key. If it says PK3 on the key, its a passkey 3. Have a pk3 key cut and theres no need to pay to have it programmed. Just turn the car to Acc position, with your original key, for 5 seconds, take it out and put the new key in and turn to Acc position for 5 seconds. Programmed.
