2000 Buick LeSabre Custom 3.8L Starter VIN: 1G4HP54K9Y
Ok, I believe Joseph nailed this one. The suspect key was used in cloning the new key. We took the Valet key back to the store and they learned the new key off that one. So far it will not act up so I believe this one is fixed! Thank you all for the help!

Success! Dan from Wisconsin was correct. The dash, heater, and radio lights were the only ones affected. This led directly to the left side dimmer module. We replaced the module and the lights all work properly now. Much thanks to all who offered help. Ron
