Default "Security" light on dash...

Does anyone know the exact reason why this light would come on?

Fortunately I have the Column Lock Bypass in my car...cause it got me really concerned.

I was driving out to my sisters place at lunchtime today, took one of the shore roads, was hammering it around a curve, hit a little bump in the road, no big deal, but up pops this "Security" alert on my dash.

Sort of wonder if I did NOT have the CLB, whether my steering wheel may have locked...

:eek:

The car continued to drive as if nothing happened. When I got back in it from being at my sisters, the light did NOT come on.

Just curious as to why this would trigger while in motion...and at GOOD speed...60+ MPH.

:crazy:

It's probably a problem with the key. If you have a lot of junque on your keychain, it will affect the behavior of the key in the ignition switch. Going over a bump probably jostled the key in the ignition and it lost contact with the resistor button.

Neill,

I think it lights up to alert you that another weld on the car's frame has broken.........

(Sorry, I couldn't resist!) :jester :jester

CP...that could make sense. I did have my 'office' set with me today which is a HUGE bunch of keys.

Tracy...LMAO!! Better put it back on teh lift and see if another wheel falls off!!
