AboutRob Painter Expertise Alarm system questions cannot be answered on this forum. These systems are not what I can answer. Without being physically at the vehicle and not knowing what kind of electrical service has been done on the vehicle, there is no possible way to give an accurate answer over the internet.
My expertise is in Ignition/key based anti-theft systems. These issues include GM VATS (resistor chip in key blade) PASSLOCK (MRD)-ignition lock rotation based, no special ignition key and the PKIII Transponder (computer chip in key) systems. These systems are not alarm based and are integral with the starting of the engine.
This is why I cannot diagnose alarm problems without physically looking at the vehicle:
Alarm systems are a completely different annimal than ignition key/lock based anti-theft system. Many alarm questions come from vehicles 10 years old, and since older, many hands that had been involved over the years.I am an expert in all GM factory (ignition/key based)systems. Alarm system questions pose to many situations beyond my knowledge as to what has been done to the vehicle over the years. Some guy may have actually wired the stereo into the alarm system. Who knows? Over my past 30 years in vehicle wiring repair, I have seen unbelievable wiring disaters done by guys that consider themselves "mechanics." I have seen stereos and alarms intalled using surgical tape. I have seen modules burn up, un-fused circuits, wiring jambed between the doors and even lamp cord used for a starter kill. To answer alarm questions over the internet without examining the vehicle is like asking; What does it take to remove a dent?

Question QUESTION: headlights,power seats,flasher,and doom lights work.The whole dash display does not come on;or the radio or the power windows.When i try to turn it over i hear 2 clicks.but i don't hear is the fuel pump.I've check all fuses and ground connections.Please help...
ANSWER: hello,
From your description, this is not an anti-theft problem. If you check all fuse boxes an fuses, you may have a burned up fusible link.
If anti-theft problem, you would not get clicks at starter. If a anti-theft problem, engine will not crank or make any noise.

QUESTION: where is it located,the fusible link?
THANK AGAIN 4 HELPING...
Answer Hello,
I do not know the specifics on your car and only can supply a general response. Fusible links are commonly in the main power harness going to the starter or alternator under the hood. If you check the wiring, you can pull on the wires. If the wire stretches like rubber, the link is blown and needs to be replaced. Most parts stores have fusible link in rolls and they can cut a piece of of it.
