Would that cause all the other problems as the horn blaring and the dash board gauges to stop working?

I want to start with a good battery I think it's probably a bad body control module more then likely real common for those and it control's the alarm door lock's gauge's etc. Let me know when you get your battery and cables in order and you have a multimeter handy.

I do have multimeter and I put in a new battery. The battery did not change anything. It will crank and run for a little while but when you turn it off it won't crank.

If the mileage is changing by itself and wont start and keyless entry is inop sounds like a bad body control module. Its really common for them to go bad on those vues I have replaced a lot of bad ones.

If that's the case then we need to get your body control module code number's then I can help you further. You can't use your typicial hand held code reader to read body control module code's it take's a expensive one to do that. Also you could even have a bad body control module.

If you bought one from www. Rockauto. Com to compare prices you can the part number from rock auto and see if amazon has one also. There a little tricky to remove from the channel there slid into. The problem your going to have unless you can get one already programed. They have to programed with the proper calibration file options and the correct mileage. So basically a dealer probably 1-1.5hrs replacement and 1hr or so to diagnose the problem. But from what you tell me sounds like a bad body control module.I have a bunch of tester body control modules for the vue and LS model saturns that use to diagnose bad body control modules. Save a lot of time tracing down circuits.

You could have a blown fuse in the under hood fuse box. Also have you checked to see if the battery cable's are clean and tight and had the battery tested?
