Help! MY CAR WONT START

For the past month my car wouldnt start on random occations. I would turn the key, the security light would come on and it just wouldnt start. Id walk away from it for a half hour, try it again, and it would fire right up. I was thinkin the ignition module was going bad, but now it wont even start. I just get the same security light. I am clueless to what is makin all this happen. IF anybody has run into anything like this please respond. Thanx

It may be the resistor in your key if you have one of those.
Try a different key if you have one.
