    Yes. Pink for the power source, I used the ground for it as well.

      [QUOTE=nascar24jd;984506]I think you found it. Clearly it is not in the same location as mine, but I think that is it.

      Here is the test.
      Cut the blue wire. Start the car. After about 3 seconds, it should stall. If it does, then BINGO...!!!

      (If it does not stall then fix the cut wire and back to the drawing board)

      Just for reference, here are the wire colors coming off of mine:
      Pink = Ignition power
      Orange = Battery power
      Blue = 5v Fuel Signal
      Gray = "Security" lamp
      Black/Yellow = Starter Enable


      update.

      I cut the blue wire but the car kept running. I'm sure this is the vats though because it has the same seven wires you listed for me for reference.

      So I hooked up the bypass module anyways like you did and the car started and ran fine with no trouble lights.

      I guess I'll wait and see if the problem reoccurs.

      Thanks again nascar. You've been a big help.

        That is odd, with the blue wire cut the car should not run. Glad to hear you found it though.

          I thought that was odd too. There is an aftermarket alarm on the car so maybe that has something to do with it.
