Will a 2000 corvette not start because of the security system?

Yes, a 2000 Corvette's security system can absolutely prevent it from starting. The Passlock system used in that year is known for issues that can disable the car even with a properly functioning key. Problems can arise from things like:

* Weak Passlock sensor: The sensor that reads the key's transponder can fail, preventing communication with the car's computer.

* Faulty ignition switch: A malfunctioning ignition switch can disrupt the signal between the key and the system.

* Low battery: A weak battery can interfere with the signal, making the system think the key is incorrect.

* Damaged wiring: Wiring problems in the Passlock system can cause intermittent or complete failure.

While other problems can prevent a 2000 Corvette from starting, the Passlock security system is a common culprit and should be investigated if the car won't crank or turn over.
