Will using a resistor to bypass the VATS completely disable the factory alarm, or only allow the car to be started without a pellet key?
I ask because about a month ago I had an alarm installed; it has been working perfectly up until yesterday. I armed the system, and the factory alarm started honking. When i disable my aftermarket alarm, the factory alarm would stop.
the only way i could arm the system without the horn honking was to arm it, then use the key to unlock the doors from outside, disabling the factory system. Of course, now my alarm was armed, but the doors were unlocked.
By coincidence, when this started happening, i noticed that dinger in the car would sound with the key in the off position, even though the door was closed. that's the first time it's done that. I sprayed some brake cleaner in the ignition cylinder and worked it around a bit thinking maybe the contacts were bad.
This morning the ignition cylinder seems to be working fine. It only dings with the key in the off position if the door is open. I haven't fully tested the alarm today, so my alarm is armed with the doors unlocked all day. I didn't want to take the chance of my horn going off all day long while i'm at work.
That's why i want to find a way to completely bypass the Theft-Deterrent System. I want to find a way to completely bypass it so it never arms, removing the chance that the horn will start honking out of the blue.
