I don't have spare key... I tried turn the key to on position for 15 min and try to start it. It didnt start. Is there any other way to disable VATS?

So, what it is finally, it's the after market alarm. I have removed last summer. Apparently, the guy left some active parts. They are messing with the starter now.
