    SES lights can be triggered by a couple things. How many miles are on the car? When was the last time you had a tune up? Also, did you get gas put in recently? Because I had a service engine light on and it went away after I loosened my gas cap and then put it back on.

      i suspect a power problem, battery/alternator will give you all kinds of screwy false alarms if there is something wrong with the charging system.

      Do you have some big stereo on your car? I bet that amp just drained your juice.

          Well kinda sounds like a power problem. The ABS light seems to be fairly common on the 95 I know when mine came on it was getting close to time for brakes. The security light means something is probably wrong with your key since it has that chip in it.

            just for an update the security light went off but the ABS INOP light still remains but it has come on before. Maybe tomorrow I'll jack up my car and check the brakes....know of any key things i should look for. thanks for all the help.

                I wish it was some mod that i could just take off all i have done is a k&n air filter and i doubt very seriously that would do it. This weekend my dad and I are going to put a new intake manifold gasket on it. so that may take a bit of time oh well i just want it to run right so i can afford to put a couple things on it like exhuast and intake then i'll be happy.

                      I agree,

                      WHen my alternator went out the car couldnt keep the battery charged, but it tries. So alot of the dash lights came on, ABS, SES, Security, and RPM's would stay really high. This is normal for a car with no juice left in the battery.

                          No, you guys have it all wrong...

                          The symptoms you described are the "WARNING: MOM IN CAR" alert. F bodies are NOT supposed to be driven with your mom :D

                          Or look at it this way: At least it happened with your mom in the car and not a date! ;)
