The 30 minute relearn wont work on my security light Mechanic's Assistant: Does the light flash, blink or stay solid? Have you tried to reset the security system? It stays solid I tried the PassKey III+ recommendation - the 30 minute relearn Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? It's a 2008 Buick Enclave. I was just detailing it and all of a sudden it wouldnt start and it wasn't the battery and then the security light came on and I was able to start it with my car starter Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Enclave yourself? What have you tried so far? I have tried turning the key into the on position for 10 minutes, then off for 20 seconds, 3 times Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? I did that 2 times I don't think so

Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* to just answer! I will be assisting you with all of your vehicle questions today. I’m really sorry that you’re having this issue and I’m going to help you through it, but please understand that I (respectfully) don't know your skill level or tools you have to assist us to diagnose/repair your vehicle. Also, understand that I can't see, smell, hear or touch the vehicle either, so your patience/understanding is appreciated. I do not know anything about the fees or charge so please if you have any concerns, direct them to customer service. The phone call prompts are automatic and are coming from the web site, not from me. **you can ignore them.** I am going to start by asking some basic questions to get caught up to where you are at with this situation so I can assist you in a timely manner. I appreciate your time and patience while we are working together on this issue. **so when you turn the key to the start position, does the security light flash?**

No
Automotive Expert

It comes on and stays on
Automotive Expert

Do you mean start position or on position? It's pretty much always on.
