Bird wont start HELP

I went to defrost my car this morning and it wouldnt start. I turned the key all the way and had the clutched pressed all the way down but it wouldnt fire. Then on the guages i saw a light that said "security" come on. I went up to call my dad and when we came down it was still on. So i got out locked and unlocked the car for the 3rd time and it went of. Then the car fired right up. Does any1 know what the problem might be.

What year is this car again? It sounds like the security computer if it is a later gen. bird. If it is a third gen. bird, it could be in the chip in the key...

Its a 2000

yea, there is a seperate computer for the security systme on that car I believe. The problem is probably in there. My friend drove his car for about 2 years without doing anything about it on his '00 or so Monte Carlo. Occasionally he would go out to his car and it wouldnt start and hed have to wait a few minutes before finally would. It was like a $300 plus fix at the dealer, so if it doesn't happen again, I might just leave it alone.
