i know, i know, there isnot much room between the two extremes but a regular screwdriver stuff, like taking out the door panel, or peeling back the carpet or unscrewing the seats would rank in the vicinity of 3 to 6, changing wipers would be 1, changing brakes - 6 or 7... this a totally subjective scale, with absolutely arbitarily chosen numbers, which i just pulled out of thin air... lol...

but, you would need check the age and the condition of your battery, then pull the onboard tests and check the voltage of your charging system when you drive... if the battery is old, or had been discharged and recharged a couple of times, it is a good idea to replace it, even if the battery is not a problem...

if the voltage in the charging system is out of whack - too low, or too high - you need to pay closer attention to alternator and possible repair or change it...

if the electrical system proves to be OK, then you need to play with the symptoms to narrow down the issues... you may have the GM acting for real, but you want to start small, and then move to big issues...

i don't think you can drive a car without the GM - this is the reason they call it GM, as it controls many things in the car...

was there ANY work done on the car before the problems started to appear??
