All the lights work, and the radio works, the lights don't dim when trying to start it, and when jump started it still does not work. The security light is staying on while key is turned on. A diagnostic computer was hooked up to it and it said there was nothing wrong with it. Suggestions say the security system has my car locked down. How can you disable the security system to get the car started. We have looked at fuses and we have disconnected and reconnected the battery cables. …”

They say that there is no short to the sensor or light on the dash yet the light will not go off. A year ago the main computer died and had to be replaced.

“I had smelled a burning smell in my car while I drive it. My husband had tried his best to find where the smell is coming from.
