Vats flashing
 
Hey Guys I need some ideas the other day I was drving and I hit a bump my vats light came on and I lost power for a sec then continued down the road well it's starting to be come more frequent I have the vats by passed kinds I have the normal vats lock cylinder and new key correct resistance in its own areas under the dash the key never gets pulled out so it's still new from when I bought it I'm thinking I may have a lost nut on the starter or the fuseable links junction by the battery I have not started looking yet but I want some of your ideas I rebulit the motor about 2 months ago so I'm thinking something got loose again the symptoms are security light comes on for a few and the car loses power and then gain it back and the light goes off it mostly does it on light bumps I don't have a wiring digram for it at the moment if someone had access to all data and could send me one it's an 89 firebird 5.0tbi

The light came on because you lost power , nothing to do with VATS itself
