Default Short-Circuit or how to remove ignition-key

Hello!

Last week I bought a Chevrolet Corsica at a Police auction.
The car came without keys but is in good condition..

The us-car mechanican here told me that he will charge me about 400 € for a new set of keys.
I just payed 350 € for the car so the investition is too high.

The steeringwheel lock is already "cracked" and all doors are open.


I tried to remove the ignition-keyhole but I cant figure out how to remove it?
Even the steeringwheel did not come off.. ?

can someone tell me how to short-circuit it, or can anyone send me the color codes / wiring diagram ?
Would be great !


PS: I live in austria (europe) - getting parts for this car is not as easy and cheap as in your country

thanks!

Default Ignition Cylinder

All you need to do is get online and order a new replacement ignition cylinder. Pull the steering colum mounting bolts off . Lower the colum. Remove the air bag cover and steering wheel. Pull out old cylinder assembly, replace. They come with a new set of key's. Have a automotive tech do this. Also have new door lock cylinders and trunk cylinders installed.
