My 2002 Chevy Impala is having problems...?
I have a 2002 Impala LS and the security message light comes on, then battery picture, then service engine soon message and they keep repeating, at the same time this happens, the air conditioning stops blowing cool air. When I turn the car off, my radio goes to locked and the trunk release pops open. When I go to restart the car, my automatic tracking is off and has to be turned back on. All this only happens when it is about 78 degrees or more outside. Never happens in the morning or when it is under 78 degrees. Sometimes the trunk pops when you open the passenger side door. After I turn the car off and key out my radio and air and lights stay on. It usually only does it when it's hot outside. Also my door locks will go crazy and click over and over. Any advice??

Try what Pedro S said.
Also look around in the engine compartment. If you've had work done on the car, sometimes they had to loosen or remove a grounding strap, and may have missed replacing it or the grounding strap has remained loose.
A loose ground or poorly connected grounding wire can also cause similar symptoms.

If you have recently changed your battery without keeping power to the vehicle it causes many of your symptoms, take it to a "dealer" and they can reset your computer, it pretty much has to be done at the dealer. Drop me a line when you find out what it is please. P.S. no it is not possessed, the LS says it all, "as in" junk, any Impala newer than 1980 is junk! I have owned 15 Impala's so far, I can work on the older ones blindfolded! Good luck.

You have an electrical problem that is temperature sensitive. Somewhere when it warms up things expend and then make contact to these circuits. It is propably going to be very expensive to track this electrical problem down
