89 bird VATS issue

Hey all,
I know I'm on a 4/5gen forum but maybe someone knows.

My uncle has a 89 bird that I'm trying to get running for him. The problem. I think is in the VATS, the car won't always start when it does you can't shut it off or it won't let you start it for approx 30min. He said him and a friend found a broken wire that they think went to the VATS, I haven't found the wire yet but I did ind a key that they tapped to the column. Can someone give me the knowledge to figure this out please. Maybe some troubleshooting tips. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there any way to completely bypass the VATS and just be don't with it?
