On my 87, headlights will still work when the Vats has been triggered.
I would be looking towards the ignition switch contacts, ignition switch relay, or clutch pedal switch.

Can't roll the headlights...no joy. Tried to jump start...nothing. Battery is less than a year old and when I touched the jumpers together I got plenty of spark.

So my questions are a) Does this sound like the dreaded VATS problem and b) Friz...do any pics exist of the install? I take it it's easy (my ZR is a '94).

Corvette mods sells the bypass also. They are asking for a code (1-15...I'll assume this is the resistor code?). Do I need to go to the dealer to find out what it is?

Any help is appreciated. And yes I know I haven't posted in a long time. And no I didn't sell the Z. Thankfully.

Doesn't sound like a VATS problem....Sounds like either a loose ground connection, loose cable on starter, or a fusible link has gone bad. If it were VATS, you'd have full power to all accessories...it just wouldn't crank.

But the module takes all of 5 minutes to install....lower bottom cover under column, unplug connection and plug both ends into module.
