With the new lock cylinder in it, turn the key on. The security light should blink. Leave the key on for 10 minutes, the security light will quit blinking and go out after 10 min. This will reprogram your security system and the car should start. Also leave a battery charger on it while the key is on, If the battery goes dead during the 10 minute reprogram sequence, you will have to start over again.

SOURCE: car won't start when security light is blinking

Vehicle anti-theft (VAT) system is not getting proper reading from the ignition switch. Your key has a resistor built into the head of the key (a silver bar on a black backing). Shine up this bar with some fine steel wool on both sides of the key. Possibly the wiring in the steering column that leads to the VAT module has gone bad or the connections in the ignition switch that mate up with the key's resistor no longer connect properly. End result: the starter and fuel injection system remain dead when all else seems normal............Security light on dash will stay on/flashing. There will be a 3 minute dead/reset period between each unsuccessful start attempt.

Turn Key and nothing but lights and radio are fine. No sound of cranking over, is it the strater?

Hello: If the security light is NOT blinking when you hold the key in the start position then it could be the starter, If no security light blinking have a helper hold the key in the start position and the another person hit the starter with a hammer, medium blow, if car starts you have a failed starter. If security light is blinking with key in start then you have a immobilizer problem and you will need the failure code so you will know where to start your diagnosis.

This is ONLY a suggestion. Take your positive battery cable off for at least ONE MINUTE. Then put it back on. Other than that I wouldn't know. The car has a computer. Sometimes resetting them gets rid of small quirks. If the car didn't turn over at all you might need a new car battery. But try the battery cable thing first. Its the least expensive.

Looks like the security system (PassKey) is having problems, it's typical on those cars and it can get worse till the car wont start anymore. You can find a great write-up here: http://newrockies.ca , it was the only thing that saved my Park Avenue.
