A common problem is the ignition cylinder and/or the ignition switch. With the buzzing of the relay, i would say all this may be related to the ignition switch. A low voltage supply to any of the circuits that the switch feeds will give strange electrical conditions. If going to replace the ignition switch, then also do the cylinder at the same time. With all things described, sure sounds like the ignition switch. P.S. The locks may be related to the ignition switch problem or not at all. With that said, would suggest looking at the BCM(body control module)It control locks, and also has alot to do with the security system. See picture at bottom of this page of corroded BCM connectors. 4- Passlock Ignition lock
cylinder removed.
Install new cylinder.Try to start- it wont or dies.Leave key on for 10-12 minutes, or until light goes out.Then turn off key for 10 seconds.Turn key to 'on' position for 5 seconds, then turn to start

may need to take to a dealer,might have thrwn into anti-theft mode,body computer might need reprogramming.

disconnect negative battery terminal, remove trim around switch, be carefull it will easily break, it pulls out, it is held on dash by clips they will pull out. remove the 2 screws that hold in switch. push the switch in about 1 inch to clear the mounting bracket, then lift it out.

resistance from the bulbs activate the flasher, so if a light is out it won't flash, could be a ground or an open circuit, time to check wiring

you will need to call the dealer and give them the vin number witch is on the dash

what number is the cigarette lighter fuse for a 2003 chevy malibu?

If you just need an ignition key, take your title and ID to a Chevy dealer. They may be able to provide you with new keys.
