The VATS (Vehicle Anti Theft System) uses a resistor in the base of the key

to complete a circuit. Wrong resistor value - no start. Turn off the

ignition, wait for a minimum of five minutes without turning on ignition and

then see if the VATS reset itself. Common problems - it`s raining and you

get water on the key as you`re unlocking the door. The resistance is wrong

and it sets the VATS. After years of use, the contacts wear enough that the

contacts on the key are intermittent to the contacts within the lock. It

sets the VATS. It`s a pain in the tookis. A new key costs anywhere from

$22 - $30. I think it may have something to do with whether the guy making

the key thinks you need it REALLY bad and REALLY soon.

Title: Model A's come to the Lakes Region of NH
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:42:49 +0000
Author: Doug

Beginning September 24th approximately 225 Model A’s will come to the Lakes Region for a gathering and road trip. On Saturday the 26th they will tour around Lake Winnipesaukee. Many of these cars and their owners are staying in local lodging properties like the Margate and the Landmark Inn.

Here is a preview of the event as some of the cars have begun arriving in the Lakes Region earlier this week.
