Sounds like a draw if the battery has been charged, tested and deemed good

I recently asked a question about my 2000 cadillacs battery problem. I forgot to to let you know my car will only start in neutral. And there is a security light on the dashbord that is flashing when i get into the car. I dont remember seeing that light prior to this problem. Do you think this is still being caused by a draw.

A draw is the only thing besides a bad battery that will cause what you described.If it was the security , it wouldnt start, it would just crank
