Never had that problem after replacing a battery.

Is the SECURITY light on the DIC lit? Steady or flashing?

Try locking the doors with the door lock switch while the door is open (steady light), close the door, and then unlock the door with the key.

If it is a security system problem, it is an after market set-up.

I figured he was talking about the VATS. Maybe not.

The security light is on solid - no flashing.

Generally if the car wont start because of the security system you just wait 4 minutes then it will?
