i turn the key and nothing happens at all just a slight clicking noise under the dash. i checked all the fuses, the battery, the starter, and starter solenoid. what can this be? i even tried all 5 keys that i have for my TA please help.

VATS? Does the security light flash as your trying to start?

Could also be ignition switch gone bad.

security light does not flash. i disconnected the 2 thin white wires for the vats and tried to start and got nothing but the security light did flash with the wires disconnected. is there any way to bypass the ignition switch with a push start or anything like that.

Does it make the clicking noise when your turning the key to start it?

You need to check the solenoid when you turn the key to see if it is telling the starter to engage, if not then you know the problem is VATS or ignition switch.
