When Key is off and removed, the door chime still dings when door is open and electric windows will still work. Also, auto door locks will not unlock the doors. Theft light constantly blinks on dash when key power is off. I suspect ignition switch problem or problem with key tumblers or both. As far as door lock problem, I am stumped as I have not yet removed door panels in an atempt to diagnose.
Any suggestions?
IF YOU HEAR RAPID CLICKING...
IT MIGHT BE A BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR PROBLEM.
OTHERWISE
It might be a faulty starter.
One of the symptoms of a bad starter is a single clicking noise when you turn the key or push the start button. ... Most likely, you'll need to get your starter repaired or replaced. If you can jumpstart your car, drive to your nearest repair shop to get the problem diagnosed.
there are many other possibilities,if the above options are not helping:

The door locks wont work when the car is on. Dont spend time chassing this problem beacuse it is tied in with the ignition switch.
Key chime sounds if the little tab is grounded where the key contacts it. The theft light is supposed to blink when the system is armed to let you know it is armed. That's normal.
What do you mean by auto door locks won't unlock? The remote doesn't work? the door lock/unlock button on the door trim panel? Do they lock ok? Or, just unlock doesn't work?

NOTE: The generic electronic module/central timer module (GEM/CTM) is connected to the ISO link and is diagnosed through the data link connector (DLC) with New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester.
There are five warning chimes and lamps the GEM/CTM controls: headlamps operating without the ignition on (chime only), door ajar (chime and lamp), key-in-ignition (chime only), driver seat belt warning (chime and lamp), and message center.

If the safety belt is buckled before the ignition switch is turned to RUN or START, from OFF or ACC, neither the chime nor lamp will be activated.
Anytime the is changed to RUN from START while the safety belt warning indicator is activated, the safety belt warning indicator will remain activated until either the timing sequence has been executed or the safety belt is buckled.
When at least one door is ajar and the key is in the RUN position, the door ajar cluster lamp is activated and remains on until all doors are closed. A warning tone will sound once any time the key is in the ignition switch and any door is open.

The headlamp-on reminder chime will be activated if the headlamps or parking lamps are on, the key is not in the ignition switch, and the driver door is opened.
A single tone will be provided each time a ground signal is received from the message center. A one-second tone will sound for warning indications from the message center. A 100 milli-second tone will sound for each message center button depressed.
