Body & Fender guys installed inside driver's side door panel...inside door assembly was rusted and driver's side door will not open. After installing the door assembly, the factory car alarm went off! The B & F guys disconnected the car battery to stop the car alarm & then reconnected it. The car would not start, no engine cranking sound, no nothing!

Prior to B & F installing the driver's side door assembly, when inserting the key in the ignition & turning the car on, no sound, no cranking except the radio & lights worked. After maybe 10-20 minutes, the car would start. This would happen maybe 2-3 times a week but would always start.

Yes, the Body & Fender did put back in the original door alarm. In fact they put back in the original door panel and the car still would not start.

Have you done a relearn on the pass-key?
GM PASS LOCK RELEARN- Ignition to "run" position, try to start and let key return to "run" position
Approx ten minutes security light will go off
Turn key "off" and wait 5 seconds
Repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 relearns.
Turn key off, then start it
