When key is turned to on(don't crank), Does security light come on and then go out after 3 seconds? Does the CE light come on?

I second the Security Light.
I didn't see it mentioned.
If the bulb is burned out you could be looking in the wrong place.
The light should come on for a second when you turn the key to on.
Sometimes if you have a bad lock cylinder or you turn the key to fast it doesn't read right and the light will flash and lock out the car for exactly 10 minutes.
This could be a problem for starting, but not dying while driving. That may be the Ignition Switch. Both of these things are hard to get at BTW.
