Default Lookie what I found

You guys have been saying for years check your ignition, check your ignition and well I did and look what old hack brought up.


Through the insulation and down to the wire, no wonder my car has been driving so bad.

Looks like it the wire for the VATs Sensor on the end of the ignition switch. If that wire is damaged/broken, you will get a security lock out when you turn the ignition switch to ON. The security light on the IPC will NOT go out.
