Won't start no Vats light on dash

My 89 firebird just up and quit starting the other day i've gone ahead and replaced the ign switch and bypassed the nutural safety switch. still no luck at starting it i'm guessing at this point it has to be something with vats since i get no sec light at all. Bad vats realay?

i had same problem, all the lights would come on, but when u turn the key nothing, i found that taking the neutral terminal off the battery and putting it back on worked for me.
