Auto Theft Prevention/Impala Malfunction

Question
I have a 2001 Impala, 75,000 miles  never a problem until recently.
1. The gas gauge is crazy, it gives the true read when I first start it..then proceeds to read full and it is not full ????

2. Last week the temp gauge just stopped working and the
AC blew hot air.  I was going to take it in to a dealer but all of a sudden it started working and the AC was cold as normal

3.  Last night I went to start the car I love so much, and it got weird on me.  It would only click and ALL the lights started flashing.  So strange.  The lights worked, the radio would play So I Know it is not the battery. If the starter went out is it common for the lights to flash like that ...ALL the lights, even the dash lights started flashing.  

I am a single gal and am so afraid to take it to a mechanic until I know all I can. I am sure you understand.  

I keep it in top shape, the best oil changes, filter changes, tires, new battery  and it purrrrrs.  BUT these little things are making me so nervous and I don't know what to do.

Please can you offer some insight or advise.  I will be so very grateful for your help.

Thanks Sincerely
Annie


Answer
Ma'am, this may be more involved
then a security of a PASSLOCK II issue
from the sounds of it. My qualifications go
as far as interfacing after market
devices. I think this may be something
you need better advice on then I can offer.

However, let's try to get you
some good information on this.

Please go to my forum at www.INSTALLSUPPORT.com
and in the search bar there,
type in the manufacturer of the alarm.
I believe you will find an older thread on
where to get more on this issue.

If anyone can guide you to the this info,
he's your man.

Good luck.
