I drive this truck everyday to and from work. Today I went out to crank it and it started then stopped immediately.

Told that's a security system problem.

However, my truck uses a regular key, not a VATS key.

How can I 'fix' this?

Hello,

Can you tell me if the security light is flashing when you try to crank the engine over?

Please let me know.
