The power relay provides power to several vital fuses. The relay is turned on and off by an on board control module. A problem with this relay or any part of its control circuit, can result in a vehicle that doesn’t run or is stuck in reduced power mode. Since it’s not certain where in the circuit the problem lies, I recommend first having the stalling problem diagnosed firsthand. YourMechanic is an excellent option for this, since we come to your home or office. Note, that GM had a recall a while back for the ignition switch on vehicles like yours, so that may also be a factor.
