Security Dash Light always on....

[oceans777]

Dear Firebird enthusists,

I have a 1996 Pontiac Firebird with the 3.8 liter engine with 87,000 miles on it. Recently the "Security" system light came and has stayed on now for several weeks. There isn't any trouble starting the car or driving it but the light staying on makes me think that there is something that is going to happen in the near future and this should be taken care of now. How can I get this light to go off? What could the problem be? What could have made it come on? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
