future shop....blows, i had the same problem with my viper alarm, it went back 10 times before it was fixed....and i fixed it myself. Get the problem fixed and then go over everything again. retape all there bullcrap, and make sure there connections are good..mine ended up being a faulty ground and a wire hooked backwards, and there the experts. If you want my opinion go to a local shop and not a big box store, they don't care about your car when they have 50 more....and supporting local company's is better anyways!

well after further inspection i found a couple of wire that were cooked and melt my plastic bezel (now i know what that burn smell is) i tried following the wires (not an expert) but unable to find the inside main unit.... now as for future shop very classy people, i phoned first asked to speak with one tech, but they were busy so i was speaking with the audio guy... explain what happen to a deaf ear who said i would have to make an appointment to have it check out at a hourly fee!!! now let me get this straight they want me to go in have them check it out at a fee even though there the ones who install the system.... now what if there was a fire in the car would i still have to pay a fee. As for local shop? sometimes you forget all about them, one of the guys was so helpful (over the phone) tried to help me disconnect the main unit (no avail), so i am going to go see him monday to have it check out no fee initial. Future shop never again even though i didn;t have the dam thing installed there very poor customer sevice.

Outta curiousity maybe I didn't read this correctly, but if you used the auto start, wouldn't the key be on you while you were cleaning the windows ? I had auto start last year until it killed my pcm haven't had it hooked up since considering it was a $500 GM fix.
