valet starter used to work, now doesn't

You are dead on, that is exactly what happens, I will definitely try your suggestions, I never thought of any of that. As far as leaving my key fob, I left both sets with them, and told them there was an alarm on there. Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes...

Definately try those and let me know how it goes. As far as the factory alarm goes, that is definately a mistake that shouldnt have happened but unfortunately mistakes do happen even to the best of us.Kenny

Well, i got the problem fixed. turns out when I got my locks reprogrammed at the dealership, they clamped a wire improperly and shorted it. It took another dealership 3 hours to find the issue. i watched them test every component and fuse. Needless to say, this never should have happened, and there is no way to prove that the previous dealership did it. Just FYI, it was a wire under my dash, apparently somebody made a booboo and didn't want to report it, which was my initial theory. A 300 dollar booboo. Labor is a killer. Long story short, everything works fine now! And i got a free oil change(that's major from a dealership!!!)
