soemthing wrong with the security system...probably NOT related to vats since your car still starts but a sensor is probably messed up somewhere meaning your security system does not work.

I don't know crap about the system.... but the remote battery is dying to the car. I have no idea what this means.

BillBoost37 is a glorious beacon of light

I believe it is typically the sensor for the trunk. Recently saw Willwren advise someone on how to test it. Off to search.

Remove the carpet under the trunk LID (if equipped). Disconnect the electrical connector in the trunk lid that goes to the cable coming from the trunk latch. See if that helps.

It'* okay to leave it unhooked? Don't want to do anything stupid to my car guys. But I'll see if it works if not I'll plug it back in.

If it works, then you know which sensor is bad. Bill says to try that one first from experience on the board. (and probably his own as well). Give it a try. It'* ok to try it.
