security light on, car will not start.

Post by 93Bonny »

Hello everyone. So sometimes when I try to start my car by turning the key the security light turns on and stays on and it will not let me start the car. Does anyone know what is happening and if it is easy to fix? Please help. Thank you in advance.

Try cleaning the pellet on the key with rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip

Usually I would wait ten minutes and try again and it would start but now it just won't start.
