Hotwire ze z?

[ClassyCrusader]

Okay so my ignition is locked and jammed (not the steering wheel locking thingy) and it costs 600 to fix it which is all I have at the moment.
Does anyone know how to hotwire this sucker? I know some say the newer models cant but its been done and pretty positive its one of those auto myths like you cant put water in your coolant reservoir.
Basically I just need to find the power line that fuels the ignition wires. Any one know? I cant find a diagram that properly shows me

I don't think anyone will post with details on what you want to do for obvious reasons but if the locking part of the ignition switch is not jammed then its the switch at the base of the lock. Thats easy to get to and remove, look for a used part on ebay and try replacing it.

I don't know of a vehicle where you cannot seperate the ignition (steering) lock and electrical (ignition) switch. You can turn the switch with a flat blade screwdriver. Usually they're held together by a couple of small screws.
