Hi, this is a toughie to explain so bear with me,
Ok, I have a 1992 Cavalier. The ignition cylinder/switch is a combo. They're a unit together, not seperate like most. That's fine. My ignition cylinder went, so I bought a used 'combo' from a autowrecker for $100.
My car is currently on the street. Un-movable. I can't get the right part to de-pressure that spring on the column to take it off. I have all the wires removed, etc.
My question, is there anyway to hotwire this car so I can get it off the streeth before it gets towed b/c we've had over 15 cm's of snow so far. Also, with the new part that I have, if I just plugged it into the wires that it normally goes, it doesnt have to be bolted in does it? I just need to drive it like 30 damn feet! Any suggest on anything would be so greatly appreciated, you have no idea.
Thank you

Can you get the wires from in back of the cilender? Put then together, that should work, or go into downtown and find a punk kid that looks like he is staling a car, and he can help you to.lol
