While driving my 01 Monte Carlo, I noticed that my security light came on, and my radio locked up. When I unplug the battery it will reset itself, but it is very inconvenient.
Security light, service vehicle soon light, battery light and airbag light all flash. The radio will "lock" and will not play. The car seems to run fine but the lights flash constantly. I was told there was no recall on this model, but yet it sounds just like the other recalls on Monte Carlos. My dealership wants $80. 00 just to look at it. There is a real problem with the diagnostic system and I am afraid my air back won't work if needed.
