Cutting the yellow wire with the engine running and inserting a toggle switch worked and I saved $500.
Added bonus: since the theft system is now disabled, there's a better chance somebody can steal my car. Please do! I won't have to deal with the next GM design problem that crops up (Passlock in the third, following frequent wiper motor failure and a seized AC compressor at 30K miles.) Life-long GM owner, but this is the last.
Thanks again.

As we all know GM sees fit to ignore design problems, they are now paying the price for the neglect. Could never figure out why they chose not to drop the Malibu name, it is the poster for poor quality.
