May have something to do with the anti theft on your radio. I dont know how to fix it though.

Neither - the car isn't recognizing the resistance value of the key pelet.
Most likely broken wires on the ignition cyl. If it happened to me I'd just bypass VATS with a resistor.

It's probably in "fault enable mode".

If the light is still on somethings still wrong - the correct nominal resistor(s) should turn the security light off.

Light should come on for a bulb check, then go off if working properly. Here's a basic VATS diagram: http://shbox.com/1/vats_bypass.jpg Fault enable mode means the malfunction happened after the car was started, so sees a problem, and not someone trying to steal the car.
