***Please help, Hotwire, ignition problem*****

[Poison Rice]

Please help!

My ignition lock/key part is broken, it wont go back to the stop position, so I disconnected the batts. to kill the engine. Now how do I get it started?

My dad tried to punch out the entire lock system to get to the wires but he F'd up bad and Fed the whole thing.

Now I have no car to go to school, and its a pain to ask friends all the time since I live far from them.

I searched on the internet on HOTWIRE and they said two reds are the starter solinoild. But there isnt two reds....nor any....PLEASE help.

its not like the old days on tv.......you cant "hot wire" like the used too...does your truck have a single sided key????

do you have a air bad on the steering wheel??????

if you have the single sided key, i can tell you how to remove it....

You can remove the ignition switch without removing its connector and let it hang loose, and work the switch on and off with an "L" shaped wire. It worked for me during a similar problem.
