DeadCats77, from the sounds of things, you have a problem with your instrument cluster. having the red light on in the center console is telling me that you have a security issue and the car is not seeing/recognizing the keys to the car. This is normally because of either a bad instrument cluster or a bad pick up ring around the ignition switch.
