Unplug the connector and attach each end of the resistor to each terminal for white wires. The chosen resistor must match the key's resistor.

No, don't plug it back in and don't just "drop them" in. See this topic:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/elec...able-vats.html
Search with "VATS" on this web site and you will find a zillion topics about this.
See these also (later year but it is the same for a 3rd gen):

Re: vats resistor wiring help
I made a temporary emergency one for my 98 that I keep in the tool bag. In a 3rd gen it is a "VATS" module instead of a "BCM". Other than that, it's the same. First photo shows the resistors that are combined to make the needed resistance. If you bought a kit of 15, you probably only need one resistor. The second photo shows the same, but cleaned up with a cover over the resistors. For permanent use, a better connection will be required.
