ok so for the past cuple weeks I've been having some problems with my car....... It started out with the remote start not wanting to turn off at all, I could start it with the keyfob(sp?) stick the key in there and no matter what i did it wouldn't turn off, I said f*ck it I'll get it fixed when I have the chance @ car-fi and stoped useing the remote start. Next thing started with the good ol break lights refusse to work, turn signals/back-up lights/parking lights work just fine, this one I thought I had blown a fuse or something, checked everyfuse no problem there. next thing to happen was my dash lights will flicker on and off for a cuple of times then go normal, and now my check engine light came on and there is some sort of elertrical failure with my transmission, turned it off haven't had any problems with the trany since. So I know it's electrical becuase I'm assuming all problems are related, but I have no Idea what the problem is, I know NOTHING about electrical.......NEED HELP!

BTW this is a 96 LS auto

 

Sounds like your alarm is failing and taking the rest of the car with it. Sadly that is part of installing an alarm that can do everything....much like when my fob went out and next thing you know the car starts, doors lock, windows roll down, alarm is sounding and I cant get it to stfu.

 

I just got back from a local car-fi and they tested the "brain" said it was fine, the guy there told me he thought it was my brake switch and that the brain can't sense when to shut off if the breaks don't send a signal. and that the trany was probaly haveing to do with the same thing( ) I dunno this is just what I was told.
