Electrical? BCM? Passlock? or Ghost???

My 1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE 2dr 4cyl automatic transmission is messing
up. When I open a door, bump in to it, turn it on or do anything that
involves electricity the car lights start flashing and clicking and if
I hadn't turned of my alarm horn it would beep sometimes. It will even
start flashing when I come to a stop light, and the engine is still
running. It does this every time!

My pass lock light on the dash is constantly FLASHING. This all
started happening a few months ago when I let my friend drive the car
and the battery just died, I replaced the battery is there anyway to
stop the flashing and clicking? It is driving me crazy. I have to turn
my headlights on during the day so people will not think I stole the
car.

Is this my pass lock? I can start my car every time and the pass lock
light is FLASHING not staying on constantly. Can I expect my car to
stop starting any day? We tried to cut the yellow wire attached to the
ignition but it didn't do any thing because I can start it every time
so I doubt it is my ignition/ignition sensor.
Please help I don't have the money or want to spend it on a dealer
fixing it. I keep reading about installing a remote start to bypass
the pass lock but my car STARTS. What do I do?

I tried to "re-learn" my car, nothing changed. I left it in the "on"
position and the alarm light just kept blinking. I did the crank but
don't start, leave on for 10 min, turn off for two min and repeated it
3 times and still no change.

Just yesterday it started doing something new... it will unlock itself
at random...while I am driving when I'm parked and best yet I locked my
car with the remote than when I came out of the store I lifted the
door handle and it just unlocked itself! That will really keep a car
thief from taking it!!

I have been searching the web for months on this problem but all I can
find it problems with the passlock and ignition cylinder.
The previous owner as a genius when he decided to install an after
market alarm in the car when it already has a stock alarm. Could the
two alarms be "fighting over control"?

The place to start is checking the battery and all ground connections. Were
the battery terminal connections cleaned good when the battery was replaced?

Be sure all connections on the alarm are solid too. One loose wire and . .
