My security feature in my C-5 2002 Convertible has gone on the fritz. This function locks out the ignition as well. I can start the car normally about half the time the other half it just dosnt excite the solenoid. How do I disable this system I have tried unhooking the battery..sometimes if I wait 5 or more minutes the system resets and starts normally ...I do have the security lite on steady when driving and flashing when I get into car...please if anyone know advise....thanx

If you are going to ask for help, then at least provide the info requested. I provided a link to read the codes. We can't help if don't know what they are.

I can only get the codes if I am at the shop when this lock out occurs It is not that simple...I was looking to see if there was anyway we could pull a fuse or bypass this security system

The only "Bypass" is soldering in a resistor the same resistance as the pellet in your key. Chances are your key and/or the contacts in the ignition switch are funky.
