Re: WONT START PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

If you're sure all your wiring/connections are tight and corrosion free, my next guess would be the VATS system. When you turn the key on, there's a "security" light in the instrument panel down by the "check engine" light. If the security light is blinking or staying lit up when the key is in the on position, then you have a VATS problem. When VATS is functioning correctly, the security light only lights up for a couple of seconds, then goes off. VERY common problem on 89-up 3rd gens.

I'm having the problem with the security light staying on. If it is a common problem do you know the solution to the problem.
Thanks
