My security light will sometimes stay on and sometimes won't. The car is stranded at work for the second staight day and I am going to try to bypass the vats tomorrow.

I tried to bypass the vats today and I don't know if I did it right cause nothing happened. Check the techical articles for instructions and if you figure it out please let me know.
