Thanks for all the replys hope to get back there this week to get locks and defroster fixed.

The ignition switch on the Cobalt (and other late model GMs) does use resistance for the key sense, start, and some ignition circuits. Normally I'll use a bypass module that connects to the resistance wire, but I'll also connect the conventional ignition/accessory wire from the switch. It may be possible that they've installed the remote starter using the resistance wire alone. I've heard of late-model Malibus starting and running without power to the ignition switch, and the only thing abnormal was that the gauges didn't work. There's no reason to think that the same couldn't be done on a Cobalt. Anyway, if the shop hasn't done it yet, have them connect to the yellow wire from the ignition switch, and program ignition controlled locking on. That will give you the ignition controlled door lock option you want.C Renner's Auto Electronix
