vats ugh

ok so i found the source to my intermittent starting issue, the solder in my key ignition had come loose and wasn't making good contact, i just did some research on here and i wanna make sure i do this right. if i unplug the vats wires from the ignition and solder the correct resistance on the wires going to the module will it work fine? i mean is there some kind of power that the key also triggers or does it JUST read the resistance. i didn't wanna go buy the resistors and it not work without the key ignition plugged up. i already know mine is vats #12. any help on this? i just wanna get rid of the problem where the solder keeps coming off, this is the second time i've replaced the ignition.

That's it. Module just looks for the resistance value and when it gets the right resistance it grounds the starter enable relay and sends a signal to the ECM to enable fuel injectors.

Ok I bought a 4.7 k resistor at radio shack and fired right up! I'm so glad to finally be done with that security crap. Thanks a lot guys! A lot of stress gone!
