Default 2000 trans am will not start?? VATS issue?

Guys i just bought this car this past weekend, it drove and started up just great. Now the next morning i went to go start it up and it it will not turn over and eventually all the lights will start flashing and the horn blows. What could be my problem? I've heard a pt about the VATS bypass maybe i need to do that?

Check your starter relay to see if it isn't corroded or just bad. Start with the basics first. If vats was keeping it from starting it would only keep spark or fuel from reaching the engine, not keep it from cranking.

It wound up being the vats but that lil resistor did the trick!
