If you know the value of the resistor you can cut the wires going to the lock cylinder and solder in a resistor of the correct value.
HHHey the vats went out on my 1992 camaro rs 305 v8,tbi,i tried everything ,nothing worked ,i went to a junk yard and got a used ecm from a 1991 non-vats caprice,,pluged it in ,,no more vats ,,runs great ,,,i dont even have any lights on at all ,,great way to totally get rid of this crappy set up ,the rest of the bypasses dont work if your reader is bad ,or any other part of vats ,,so just get rid of it
just google gm vats bypass kit
how to bypass vats on 95 camaro
probably your security system . Search google for "Bypass GM Vats Security"

This is what saved my car and my money (that I didn't have!). Here is a write-up on how to do it all yourself. It will bypass the VATS system entirely, you will not hear about it anymore and it will not own your car anymore! http://newrockies.ca/vatsbypass
GO to www.vatslikeabigdog.com it tells all about how to bypass the VATS key system with pictures and all.

Yes,you can buy a VATS bypass module for $30 == ==
Disabling the VATS system is not the right answer. Bypassing the VATS system on a '89 Pontiac Trams Am requires grounding the crank/start wire on the VATS box (located behind the dash, behind the console) and purchasing a bypass module, which is used in order to allow the fuel injectors to operate. Baker Electronix offers a DFVATS module for this purpose.

On the drivers side kick panle.
That GM car uses a system called VATS Your key should have a chip in it. You need to take an OHMS meter and check the resistance on both sides of the chip in the key. From that, you will need to buy a resistor that matches the resistance on the key You will Cut the Vats system wires that run up into the steering column. It should be two wires that are wrapped in orange plastic. You will need to solder the resister into the harness side of the wires.
