Cadillac Repair: car not starting or cranking over, VATS bypass, anti theft

Question
I have a 93 cadillac deville that will not crank over. Nothing comes up on the message center. If i turn the key and jump the starter with a screwdriver, then it will start. Could it be the ignition switch or the vats? How can i narrow down the problem by myself?  Thanks for your time.  Ant

Hello,

To eliminate the common defective VATS wiring harness issue, get the car running and take to local alarm store. They should have the resistor bypass kit and can install it. At the same time install a hidden starter kill switch, for theft prevention. With the VATS bypassed, only 30 seconds to defeat the steering column with no ignition lock damage. Done as simply as with a screwdriver.
Yes, old cars are stolen all the time. If insured for theft, insurance company will not pay claim because car is considered unstealable.

Yes, this will cost you money, but takes a lot of guessing out of your situation. The VATS was notorious for failure stranding the owner and the dealer would charge $500 plus to fix, only to have It fail again!!! Junk, Junk, Junk!!!!

No matter what, if it eliminates the problem or not, it is doomed to fail.

The reason I don't give free instructions on the bypass, there are too many different variations on under dash designs. There is nothing secret about bypassing this system. It just got to the point I was getting up to 20 requests a day and I am too busy to fool with that.

If you still have problems after the VATS is bypassed, contact me at robo14@aol.com, and I will try to give you direction.
