try a new key if a new key doesnt work its the reader. Its located in the area you put the key in and turn. My 93 camaro's vat went out hoped it was just a key but it wasnt. Had a dealership get the part and install it and it was around 350 so can probely get it done much cheaper

I think there is a way where you can disable vats using a resistor from radio shack and it will save you a lot of money

Default VATS bypass

Bypassing the VATS is pretty simple, I've done it several times.

All you need to do is measure the resistance in your pellet in your key.

Then you need to get resistor(s) that match the same value. Then you splice it in the designated place shown here:
