It's a Grand Prix, so i'm thinking more that it was a bad job wiring that triggered an anti-theft something or other in thr computer

According to the stereo shop that does my work, late model Pontiacs are the absolute worst to work on from the point of view of all the electronics in the whole car being integrated with evrything else in the car.

A good part of his livelihood comes from installing auto-start/Alarm systems in cars and in many instances he refuses to work on Pontiacs -- sends them to the local dealer where their install costs could run $600 or more, compared to the $75--$125 he would charge for the same installation in a Ford or Chevrolet.
