Does anyone know if the VATS bypass resistor outlined in tech has to be exactly the same.I checked my key with 2 different meters and one read 520 the other 528.Thanks Mike

 

It doesn't need to be dead on. Just get the closest resistor you can find at your local Radio Shack.

 

Yeah - if you think about it, it CAN'T be dead on: the current has to flow through quite a bit of wire (mostly tiny wire that certainly ups the resistance) so there must be variance. As a rule of thumb if there are two close choices get the one with lower resistance, or for $.50 a pop, get both. I mean there's frugality and there's just plain CHEAP!
