Default My no start problem is solved.

After several attemps to fix it myself with help from Bill Curlee and others. Had to get my car towed to the dealer. It turned out to be a broken ignition switch. With towing, parts and labor the cost at the dealer was $234.00. This fixed the no start and security light staying on problems. So I am back on the road again. Thanks to Bill and the rest of you that tried to help me. Merry Christmas to all!

Check ALL yours grounds as well! I replaced the Ignition switch and the problem came back. My prob turned out to be the the G105 ground on the drivers side on the block under the engine!
