Unplug the connector and attach each end of the resistor to each terminal for white wires. The chosen resistor must match the key's resistor.

Re: vats resistor wiring help

No, don't plug it back in and don't just "drop them" in. See this topic:

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/elec...able-vats.html

Search with "VATS" on this web site and you will find a zillion topics about this.

See these also (later year but it is the same for a 3rd gen):

Re: vats resistor wiring help

I made a temporary emergency one for my 98 that I keep in the tool bag. In a 3rd gen it is a "VATS" module instead of a "BCM". Other than that, it's the same. First photo shows the resistors that are combined to make the needed resistance. If you bought a kit of 15, you probably only need one resistor. The second photo shows the same, but cleaned up with a cover over the resistors. For permanent use, a better connection will be required.
