Windoe was left open in a rain storm. next day locks started goung crazy. horn sounds anytime a door is opened. yesterday car would start, but cut off after a few seconds, this happened sbout ten times then car ran ok. today same thing only wont start, i think the battery is dead. what to do?
I've had this problem under warranty on my '05 Malibu LS. They replaced and reprogrammed the fobs. Looking in my shop manual, it seems the problem is from the content theft deterrent (CTD) system. My car started doing this two years later off warranty and now I just lock the doors from the outside with the key or by pushing the lock stem buttons by hand on each door. The security option in the DIC needs to be set to RKE for this to work though.
Your alarm has activated the imobilizer.When this happens you will start the car for only a few seconds.then it will stop.The only solution is to have it reprogramed.Try removing the door panel from the door you left the window open.and dry it out with an air dryer.
