Default VATS- just noticed......

not sure if anyone else has, but i was getting out of the vette today and i noticed the security light was on, not blinking but on. so i figured the VATS was at it again. i didn't feel like getting stranded so i armed the VATS instead of my alarm. came back disarmed and it started.
got back home and it was back to normal blinking mode, so i armed my alarm and went in. no problems.
was just wondering if anyone ever noticed this before and could this be a sign that it's going to leave you stranded?

im scared of my VATS.... im going to get the bypass relay one of these days when i figure out what it was I needed to do to it again...

its left me stranded more than once... but only after my car was broken into... then it started going downhill.... its been ok the last couple months though.... not sure why it does what it does...

i was always able to start it, i just had to wait 5-10mins for it to reset...

Mine does not blink if I lock the door while it is open.

I think if the "Security" light is not blinking it means that the factory alarm has been activated (turned on).

Mine acts strange at times. Sometimes not letting me start it for a few minutes, and sometimes not locking the doors automatically. I hope it doen't leave me stranded, because I'll need to replace a few body panels and some glass for not letting me do what I wanted to. :smash: :seeya
