Thanks for the insight Onehundred80. So, drove it in this morning to see if this "fix" (leaving out fuse #9) might just give me some time to decide what I really feel might be going on. both locks and trunk unlock with key, so thinking the pump must be working. Obviously fob is out of commission but I can deal with that.


Sorry for the confusion, I really didn't use great language in describing that the alarm is not hooked up, so the 'siren' part of the alarm doesn't work (like you said "failed"), was like that when I bought it and I really don't drive it or leave it parked in areas I would feel I'd need the alarm, typically either in my garage or in our employee parking deck or another family members driveway (I've always been cool that the inconvenience of being 'that' person whose god awful siren is going off because it got bumped or there was a loud noise that set it off is actually deterring someone from trying to steal it so I never tried to have it corrected). So, yes, it did do the 'failed' alarm crackly scratchy thing trying to sound during all this and also the lights flashing but now that the #9 fuse is out, seems to be good. Gas cap good also, had to get gas this morning and no issues there either. Seems like I need to just research, diagnose, more research, and try to find someone knowledgeable who can then take what I feel it's displaying symptoms of (SKREEM, RCM, CLP/SSM...) and run with that.


Thanks again for the insight and I'll post back with anything I experience in the time the fuse if out as well as what it ends up being just in case it helps anyone else the way the other posts helped me.


Thanks!!!
