security mode..... stuck
My car is at the body shop.
2004 z06 36k miles
Car is at the body shop having the bumper redone. They called me yesterday asking if the car ever went in security mode.
Car is stuck in security.
Took them the spare key didnt work.
They tried the manual didnt work.
The car is complete but he wants to fix it. I appreciate his help but im also trying to figure it out.
I have only had the car for about 6 months. Bought it with 26k miles. This has never happen before. The car usually sits for 1 to 2 weeks before I drive it. All of a sudden....

Maybe they were working on it and left the door open and you have a low battery?

I had this happen a couple of weeks ago, All I did was clean the resistor on the key and all worked great.

Ok so he called a locksmith. Check the ignition. He said something about a spring and a wire being disconnected. Total $325.
What do you guys think?
