Where is it really located? I have seen no pictures of it or where it is located. People have said 'I swapped out my VATS module and everything worked fine' but there has only been ambiguous descriptions as to how they got to it. I've even seen people on here ask where it is, and the question was totally ignored. It seems to be a mystery for some reason.

So where is the theft deterrent/VATS module REALLY? Does anyone have any photos of its location, or even any photos of it by itself, or at least have a worthwhile description of where it is and how to get to it?
The TDM is behind the glovebox. The TDR is to the right of the glovebox. Two different things.

I have not been able to fully verify which way it is done.

agreed, I know for sure it is injectors and starter in thrid gens, and the 93, but not positive in the 94+ cars

would be easy to check, just need to get around to it


heck, if I come across a PCM for a 94, I'll check, in the swap I put a 94 LT1 in my K5, the fuel pump is not run from the PCM, so if it doesn't run with a PCM w/VATS, we'll know
