I'm not sure the problem, but sounds like it's definitely tied to the Passlock but it may be coming from the PCM side. This is a stupid question but, when you replaced the ignition switch you did replace the passlock too, right? And didn't just get a plain ignition cylinder?

PLEASE keep us posted. Good luck.

Yes it came with that little black sensor on it. Could i have blown the PCM or something? What damage could I have done just by changing out the radio and ignition swich and lock? PCMs go crazy when you do this? I mean it was my bad for leaving the battery on......

I really can't answer that, that goes beyond my experience with it.

That dealership is what makes other places look bad. Milking you for all they can. Contact the local rep for GM and tell him what is going on. $110 an hour? It is $80 here and they only fix what needs to be fixed, not jerk you around.
