On solid for over a year now. Car always starts,keyless entry,alarm work perfectly. Is there a way to reset VATS or something else I can do? If I take the bulb out(which is what I think I'm going to do) will I get a "Check Guages" light? I'm just sick of the light.

 

i would black tape it before taking bulb out.

 

i tried the black tape idea, you can see it because it isnt the same color, i took the bulbs out of my seatbelt light, abs inop, asr off lights, i had no ill effects from removing them.

 

If the light is on and everything is fine it means that the Theft Deterrent Module is not programmed properly. I believe its a dealer only repair by reading the Module and cutting you a key to match. Or you can buy a new module, Install it and the first time you stick in your key and turn the Ign. on, it automatically programs the module for the key.

 

i agree. stop taking bulbs out god dammnit! They are there to help. Do a little more research to solve the problem. Good luck.

 

My security light went off and on sometimes. Sometimes it would stay on for 3 days, sometimes for 2 minutes. All was fixed when I had to replace my ignition switch. Might be a bad connection there?

 

Sometimes what happens is that the system detects a fault after the engine is already started. The VATS will then allow you to keep driving (obviously a good thing ) and the system is then not functional. If the problem never changes or fixes itself (like in the case of a loose wire) then the light will remain on and you will be able to start your car. You could simply have a problem with it reading the key.
