OK, so I was all excited yesterday because my Eleanor was coming home. I got to the shop and they had some difficulty in getting her started, but they chalked it up to the battery. So they put her on the charger and we let her sit a while, then another shop guy was out and about and tried starting her and, voila, she went. The shop also called GM to ensure it wasn't the security system ... and apparently the shop was doing everything it was supposed to.
So I drove it around awhile to ensure propper charging of the battery, and stopped in a Kathy's house who was just leaving to go out for dinner. We stopped and picked up Lindsey and headed to the friendly neighbourhood restaurant.
However, after dinner, Eleanor didn't feel like starting. Not one bit. I have a feeling it truly is the antitheft system, but who really knows right? I called GM and there's nothing they can do over the phone (of course) so it looks like I have to get it taken into a GM shop for them to "diagnose" her.
I've even exhausted my internet search for ways to fix it myself (and no, I'm not going to rewire her and disable the PassLock system). The owner's manual doesn't have anything in it at all.
Trust me - you never ever want someone to try and steal your vehicle. (On a side note, don't you think that folks should say Your Vehicle, sort of like Your Magesty or Your Highness?)
