Got It
Got It Can one of our sponsors fix this our am I better off taking it to the dealer?
I need to get the Security light fixed on my T/A.
The light came on when is was 6* out and I had to move the car.
The car starts and drives fine but I can't stand having lights on my dash.
Would I be better off taking it to the dealer or does one of our sponsors do these things?
I have other work that I need to get done(Mod stuff), so I will be looking for a sponsor for that also.
P.S I want to fix the problem correctly is possible, meaning if it is going to cost $1200 to fix the security then yeah we can just bypass it instead.

This thread talks about bypassing it:

I don't mess with that stuff.
I'd rather just sell the damn thing and get a Vette or trade it. I'm at the point that I don't care what they offer, I just want out.
But nobody wants a car with lights on, and I can't say I blame them.
From my understanding the VATS can't simply be turned off. I really don't care about an alarm, I live in a decent neighborhood and have a garage.

If you want a price to have it fixed just bring it to the dealer and pay the $99 diag. That will give you a good idea of where you stand with the car. It could be something simple. In my case I had to replace the entire system ~$600. Just don't take it to Lafferty Chevorlet!
Could it be something as simple as the chip in the key isn't making good contact with the cylinder in the steering column? I know if I don't have my key inserted all the way, even like a 1/16 of an inch out too far, the light will come on.
Just offering a suggestion. Maybe try getting a new key cut.

I usually take my cars to Reedman but I was thinking about trying Lafferty.
While it sucks to pay $600 I would probably just get the whole thing replaced for that. Do you know what exactly they replaced?
