Help; Car won't start again/VIDEO

Had this problem before with the car not starting. Messed around with stuff and removed an aftermarket alarm and all of a sudden it started working.
Have driven it about 20 miles since then getting it registered and now it won't start again.
Below is a video trying to start it this morning.
Car is a 94 Z28.
Battery is starting to get weak from multiple attempts.
Car ran fine, except for a slight miss at idle. Everything was fine under load.
Check out the video and let me know what you think.
Thanks.

Pulled serpentine belt thinking maybe an accessory was locked up; but made no change. Still will not start.

Would something with the VATS cause it to do this?
Previous owner installed a resistor and maybe the resistor is going bad or lose.

I believe that it is now electrical below the steering column. I was jiggling the wires below the column while cranking and it started up. Now it is starting every time. So I'm going to try and find a loose connection or bad wire.

Any LT1 guys know which wire behind the drivers knee panel would case the no start condition in the video? To help track which wire it is.
