Question
I recently just got a new battery put into my car. The car start find and the keyless panel still works. I can lock my doors and the panic button works it just my security system doesn't come on. Also when this began my interior light in the car stays on. This happen before but not this long. My interior light want cut off and then the alarm goes dead.. Do you have an idea what may be going wrong. Thanks

Answer
Ok, It appears you've reset the VATS.
The car does not recognise the chip in the ignition
key when that happens. You can try to put the key
in the ignition, turn to the on position & wait at
least 10 mins like that when it happens. But
after awhile, it will stop working at all.
Your ignition switch assembly may be to blame.

In some cases, the VATS (GM'S VEHICLE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM)
will re learn the code this way, and will then
allow the restart all the time. But if this does not work,
then go to any GM vehicle dealer
to have the service department evaluate the issue,
re code it.

Good luck I hope method 1 does the trick!
