Default Need Help! Very Urgent!!

Alright so when I bought my car it never came with the alarm pad for the factory alarm. So I would have to unlock the door and get in and start the car immediately. So I stop at autozone without locking the car and then when I got in and put the key in the ignition it started honking the horn and it would not start im guessing the VATS disabled the injectors and starter... now its saturday night... how the hell can I get my car to start and work til I figure out what to do with it.

Even if I wanted to pay 500 bucks for GM to re-do it I cant at this moment so yeah please I need help what can I do to disable or bypass this piece of **** alarm?

Search VATS bypass. You will need a resistor or two.

yeah its flashing... I tried the bypass with resistors and I did it wrong I tied them all up and connected the ends instead of looping them in a "U" shape... would that make a difference?

Connecting the ends of the resistors together results in them forming a parallel circuit. This makes the total resistance calculated by the formula: 1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2... In all cases, the total resistance will be less than that of the highest value resistor in the circuit.

What you want to do is connect the resistors end to end so that electricity flows through them sequentially (a serial circuit). The total resistance will then be the sum of all the individual resistor values.
