VATS that?

On my 89 Bird the SECURITY lamp is on all the time but I can easily start the car. Now since I bought it that way I m not sure why. Doesn t this usualy mean you won t be able to start the car at all if the Security light is on. :lala:

sound like something is wrong with the VATS system. if i remember correctly, if someone goes wrong with VATS then the system disables itself so that you can still drive ur car. i think

Nope, if something goes wrong with the VATs and the light is on then your screwed, it won't start. Someone must have had it unhooked somewhere in the wiring and its setting your light on.
