Another VATS question,,, did the search.. Ok, my buddies 2002 SS wont start after he got to work, Security Light is flashing. I went over with HPTuners, opened his tune, went to System, VATS and selected None, (it was on PWM). Put tune in, still flashing still wont start? Other than trying a spare key, or dealer, is there any other option or did I miss something in the VATS Delete process?
Oh yeah, the car will not crank or attempt to, fuel pump primes and thats it.
Do I need to possibly remove/unplug the BCM when VATS is disabled, if so, exactly where is this (someone had posted before behind the stereo is next to the DRL module?).

Ok, well, Andrew found in the Electronics section how someone placed a resistor matching that of the key in-line of the wiring for the BCM/VATS. Of course we went to Radio Shack, measured the key at 1865ohms, but they have no resistor to match, tried a 2.2k, and a 1.5k, neither worked. Luckily I grabbed a 100-5k potentiometer, set it to 1866, and viola, Security Light (ended up steady lit, not flashing after d/c the harness for it) went off, and car started up. D/C the Potentiometer, security light stays on, but car starts up and runs just fine. Now need to find a resistor to match the 1865 +/- a couple and we'll be good. Looks like I will be measuring my key as well since my Sec Lt is illuminated all the time as well.

Yep yep. You keep calling needing last minute help, I keep working harder to figure the **** out, or reading more to fix it. Gotta love it. At least you have good timing.
