Question about VATS bypass. Ok so im gonna bypass my VATS.
I set my volt meter to 20k and i got a reading of .88. Im guessin that it means 8,800 OH. Radio shack didn't have a resistor for 8,800. Any ideas?

sounds good enough to me im gonna try a 8500 and see how it goes.

OK I hooked the resistors up today and no juice. The only difference is that now with the resistors hooked up two the wires the security light will stay on the the key is turned as opposed to flashing. Any ideas?

did you use just one resistor or a few of them wired/soder together? if more than one you might want to check the resistance between the two ends just to make sure its still close to the value you need. the light stayin on indicates that the resistance is out of range.

Yeah thanks for helping me realize that its 880 and not 8800. Didn't matter. I went to the store and got one for 560 and one for 330 and put them together giving me 890 which should work. Hooked it up and nothing. Didn't even read the resistance was out of range by keeping the light on. It just started blinking again. Oh yeah and now my battery is dead. This sucks
