I just picked up a 2000 S10 extended cab. There is a light on the dash that says security. What is it for? Is there anything I should watch out for or do when I work on the new dime?

Mine Comes on everytime I start the car for a second or two.wakojoeIf mine has a hard time starting and stalls when first try it the security light will be on the second time when it fires
the newer trucks have passlock, as long as the light is only on for 2 seconds at start, your goodTokoDragon said:Mine Comes on everytime I start the car for a second or two.

You can turn the key to the on position and it should come on and turn off after 2 seconds, if it flashes after that then your pickup will start and die. Due to "resistance" in the passlock system.
Usually I let it set for 10 minutes and it'll start up no problem.
I believe it there so if someone was trying to hot wire your pickup it would do this to keep a thief from taking your vehicle.
Mine will do it every now and then because I had an alarm with remote start installed and the connections were crimpped which cause enough resistance in the passlock system to activate teh "SECURITY" mode sometimes.
It'll comes on and stays on sometimes when I'm driving aswell. It doens't seem to affect anything. So I don't know about that.
It can be a pain, I would like to go back and solder the connections which were crimped.
I'm not sure where this Passlock brain is located.
