Due to the intermittent nature of the problem (seems to always be after I give the car back to her), I'm not sure disconnecting the power to the RS will give me a definitive answer. I can only have the car a day or 2 at a time, and the issues never seem to come up when I have the car.
So, let me give the detailed wire connection list a go, and you tell me if you see any problems. Not sure I'm doing this in a way that's easy to read, but here goes.
Car Wire - Avital Wiring
+12v Ignition Harness (white) - Both red high current 12v inputs
Starter (Bl/Wh) - Purple output to starter circuit
Ignition (Bl/Ylw) - Pink ignition circuit
Accessory (Bl/Red) - Orange output to accessory circuit
2nd Accessory (Wh/Red) - Pink/White flex output, programmed to accessory
Power Lock (Wh/Blue) - Green lock output
Power Unlock (Wh/Grn) - Blue unlock output
Brake Wire (Wh/Blk) - Brown brake switch shutdown wire
Installed hood pin - Gray hood pinswitch shutdown wire
Horn Trigger (Or) - Brown horn output wire
Neutral safety switch input on Avital (Bl/Wh) is wired through switch directly to ground (body bolt on car). (car already has factory starter lock-out, incidentally what seems to be my problem).
I used this same ground for the black Avital ground.
Anti-grind Relay Wiring
86 - Bl/Wh Starter wire from car, key side
85 - Orange GWL output from Avital, programmed to anti-grind ON
30 - Bl/Wh Starter wire starter side and Purple starter wire from Avital
87a - Bl/Wh starter wire from car, key side
86 and 85 are diode protected, with stripe towards 86
Trunk Release Relay Wiring
86 - +12v constant fused at 5a
85 - RED / Wh trunk release output on Avital
30 - to grounded trunk solenoid
87 - +12v, fused 10a (can't remember right now where I pulled this +12v from)
Fortin SL-3 Wiring
Blue Status output on Avital to Blue GWR on Fortin
RED / Blue on car to PURPLE / White on Fortin
Blue/Orange on car cut, Or/Bl on Fortin to key side and Or to vehicle side
Yellow/Black on car to Yellow on Fortin
White on car to Red +12v on Fortin
Br/Ylw on car to Black - on Fortin
I'm thinking my problem lies somewhere in my relay wiring, but I'm not sure where. Everything works exactly as it's supposed to, until these crazy intermittent issues. And at this point, I'm worried about causing actual considerable damage to the transmission, given the latest issue.
