Drove home from work perfect as usual, Got in today and all lights work but will not turn over??? Could this be the VATS issue? If so how do I fix?:confused:

Generally VATS will let you crank the engine but it will die immediately after fire up.
I take it the starter relay doesn't click at all either?
Is the dash security light on?

No starter click, the security light goes off after boot up, fuel pump runs, lights work, engine will not turn over. think it is the starter?

If you disconnect the neg. and reconnect it on the battery it will re-set the vats.It will also lock your stock stereo , so have your 4 digit pin ready

I'm betting on a battery that is only holding a surface charge now. Has it been cranking slower lately?

I would probably take the battery in first as it's easiest and they can load test it.

If the battery is OK then it's either the battery cable or starter/solenoid.

So was it the battery, or something else?
