Sounds like the alarm is set up for passive arming. You might be able to program it not to passive arm.

i dont have a listing for a sts in 97 it goes 98 and up. it sounds like have a power wire that is getting interupted when it starts resetting the alarm. meter the 12v wire while u turn the key and make sure the power dosent drop out. i think u have to go to the battery on that car...

it cuts the main power wire? or the starter wire? if it's the starter wire, starter kill is hooked up.
