k that is a good thing that your security light goes out and is not flashing. Your going to have to find the brain of the polarstart, the picture above is exactly what the brain looks like, only unplug the big 6 pin plug. You may have to take the dash panel off to get access to the brain

K if your security is not flashing and stays on then goes out after a few seconds upon the key seeing ignition, sounds to me like maybe your battery is the problem, do you have a multimeter if so test the battery and see what the voltage is, should be a minimum of 12.6 volts. It also maybe your key cylinder.

do you know where your OBD II connector is in the vehicle?, if you do I want you to tell me if there is a wire connected to a violet wire at this plug. this violet wire is the second wire on top of the plug from left to right. So pin #2 is where your going to look the plug is held to the lower dash with 2 7mm screws

ok I found th OBD2 and there is a purple wire in the second pin spot from left to right

there's an orange 2 black and the purple,

Nothing connected to the purple wire tho

Is it possible to disconnect it altogether, and I don't know, just use a KEY?

K if nothing is connected to the purple wire then I hate to say it there is more going on sounds like its related to your key barrel
the only thing I can suggest is to go to your ignition harness and jump your starter wire (yellow) or (purple) to 12 volts (red) and see if your starter ingages. You need to test for your starter wire though if it cranks its you key barrel that is the problem

Now the windows dont do that. only when key is on.
