This may be related to the antitheft system. The system is known for turning off the starter and/or injectors when it fails. Normally when the injectors are turned off, the car will run for a second or two, and then stall. When it's the security locked out starter, you won't even hear a click when you turn the key. Is there a light on the dash that says SECURITY or a picture of a car with a lock through it? This is a common problem worth looking into. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/

3M Headliner 82 Spray Adhesive, 4.93 oz (140 g) 3M Headliner 82 Spray Adhesive 4 93 oz 140

What kind of backing DOES it have. The fabric of the headliner cannot simply be glued to the roof frame. GM used a foam shell on many of its vehicles. Removal of the headliner must be done carefully to avoid breakage of the shell, although a small crack or two often is of no significance. Remove the old fabric by peeling it off the shell. This will usually leave a lot of the foam padding still clinging to the hard foam shell. This can be removed fairly easy with a vegetable brush, being careful not to gouge into the hard foam shell. There will still be a slight residue of the padding on the shell, but this is not a problem. At a fabric center, purchase a sufficient size piece of headliner fabric in a color that complements your interior. Ask the salesperson there to assist you in selecting the correct spray adhesive for the job. Dry fit the new headliner to the shell, leaving some extra on all sides that will be trimmed later. Fold back one half of the headliner fabric and apply the adhesive to both the shell and the back of the headliner fabric. Wait the specified time for the adhesive to prep, then, with assistance (its easier), roll the headliner back to the shell, ensuring no gaps or bubbles. Once you complete one half, fold back the other half and repeat. Cut any access holes needed (dome light, sun visor). Trim excess to edge of shell. Do not wrap the headliner around the side edges or it will not reinstall correctly. You may need to wrap the front and rear edges depending upon the trim on your interior. The edges will be hidden by the door and window trim. Reinstall shell.

The latch is damaged or moved by the impact, inspect it.

FUSE BOX LOCATIONS DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES

The driver's side fuse block is to the left of the steering

wheel, under the instrument panel.

Snap off the cover to reveal the fuses. You'll find a fuse

puller clipped to the inside of the cover. Place the wide

end of the fuse puller over the plastic end of the fuse.
Squeeze the ends over the fuse and pull it out.

Passenger's Side Fuse Block

Additional fuses are located in the relay center, on the

passenger's side, below the instrument panel. You must

remove the sound insulator on the right side of the

passenger footwell to replace these fuses.

Since the replacement of these fuses can be difficult,

we recommend that you see your dealer for
fuse replacement.

The security, antitheft or lock picture/icon is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/

the headlights Flicker could be caused by the alternator. Local auto parts stores will test this vehicle charging system with their mobile analyzer and it will determine the problem... The alternator generates direct current for recharging the battery and for powering vehicle electrical loads.

Get the vehicle up on a lift/hoist and have a transmission support dolly to support and move the transmission when it has been unbolted from the vehicle. If you do not have access to that basic equipment then leave it to the professionals who have the correct equipment to do it safely and without damaging the heavy transmission in the process of removal and installation.

You have a coded key for your ignition. If you have another spare key-- try starting the car with that one and see if it works. You may need to disable the Anti Theft Security on your car. check out this video about deactivating Anti Theft Security System on your car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrRbPdPlecg
