Okay, so today I went out to lunch and when I got into the car to restart the ignition, the car hesitated for a second like it was stalling out and then came up to full power. As I was driving home, the car again started stalling and the lights on the dash started flashing. I managed to get the car home and when I went to restart it, the car wouldn't start. In fact none of the dash lights come on other than the anti-theft system light which comes on after about 2 seconds and blinks continuously. Other than that, I am getting no power to the dash. Also, only the driver side door unlocks with the remote, not the passenger side. I know both the battery and alternator are good because I've replaced both within the last year. I'm seriously hoping it's not the dreaded PATS system. Anybody have any ideas?
 
One more symptom. When I leave the key in the ALT position and listen under the hood, I hear what sounds like something is vibrating and intermittent clicking sounds.
