Security System car fails to start
I think what you are describing is a fault in the on-board anti-theft circuit. When you start the engine, and the problem occurs, Do you notice a light on the gauge cluster that starts flashing. It will either read "Security" or would be a picture of a lock. If you confirm this then you may need to have the ignition switch replaced. An ignition switch failure is the most common failure but it does not promise that your car will be fixed if you replace it. Other problems could be causing this problem but that would require your car to be diagnosed at your local GM dealer. If by chance, you were referring to your "Car Alarm" them that changes everything. After Market car alarms can be troublesome. They are an add-on and do not offer any assistance with diagnostics. When they fail, you have it uninstalled or replaced. Personally, I think they are a waist of money. I hope both of these comments help you. If you have other questions, please write back. I will be more than happy to answer any of your questions. If so, please try to be as detailed and specific, as possible. Good luck.

HORN HORNKS WHEN PUTTING BATTERY CABLES ON
security system or theft deterant system how ever u want to call it
install battery and if u have key remotes hit lock and unlock this should reset system if no remotes insert key and cycle from off to on (do not start) three times and then try to start
Car wont turn over even with jumper cable
Make sure the cables are properly installed (positive to positive). If your battery has gone dead, it will take a while to recharge enough to allow cranking. Other than that, you may have a problem with the starter, or the ignition switch. If you can get to the starter you may be able to jump the connection between battery power cable and the start terminal. That would at least be able to confirm that the starter still works. It is probably time to see a mechanic.

that would be the o2 censor on the car it has to do with fuel millage and how good of millage that you get. it probable has the heating element burned out in it and needs to be replaced right a way
Car wont start
Sounds like your battery is either flat or wont hold charge. When you start a car ALL the power goes to do that. When you get a jump you are actually using the other cars power as well as yours. Replace your battery.
