That's the AI in the truck telling you to never let your wife drive your truck again.

The security light turns on when the key's "chip" doesn't match what the truck expects it too... try resetting the computer to see if it goes away.

yep, probably have an aftermarket 2nd key? My second key sets off the alarm until the truck is started.

When my trucks battery did not have enough juice to turn the truck over that light came on for me. I do not have a security system in my truck, nor do I have a fancy programed key.
