Random thought ,, I haven't played with GM vats yet.. But my BMW's both turn on a security light on the cluster if its not the one coded to the ECU originally, they can be recoded but I haven't needed to chase it ..

My security light has been on for around 12 years, so I don't even see it anymore. If the cars starts fine and runs, just get used to it like I did.

The dome light is another issue ... perhaps your BCM is getting toasty, although that's not a typical symptom.
