Ignition worn or damaged, unable to start the car - any ideas?

[A_J_T]

Ok so I came back to my car last night after being out and the Key was a little tighter than usually to insert into the ignition, I then try to turn the ignition on and no go. I got a ride home and grabbed a spare key in case mine was worn or dodgy and this was also a no go. I have phoned a couple mobile lock smiths and it’s going to cost anywhere from $200 to $500 to get the ignition repaired or replaced on the spot. I’m not so keen for this idea and I’d much rather figurout how I can jumper the correct wires in the ignition plug to get it started and then I can sort this mess out in my own time. I have had the ignition off before due to some twat thief breaking the previous one when trying to steal the car so I understand where all the correct plugs are to access but wouldn’t have a clue which ones i need to join/short/jumper whatever.

Any help or other suggestions/resolutions to this situation would be awesome.

Thanks

So your asking how to hot wire a car?

Hes not stealing one can vouch for that. Ring theo but just touch the yellow and red iirc. I can't remember have jumped one before but then the steering lock was the issue.

Not any car, my car. I realize this is a potently dodgy and inappropriate topic so if y'all feel weary about it no worries.

Also feel free to PM me if you do have any helpful information and you trust me.

Thanks

Edit: Thanks Clint. yea been on the phone with the ol' Bro this morning and have got a better idea of whats up so im absolutely going to give it a go.

All sorted, was way too easy.. Nothing damaged and the car is now starting with a screwdriver, just another reminder to why a good alarm and immobilizer is important.

@Joker, Yea I’ve had one done before and its only around $40 so that's possibly what ill do with this, also thinking of sorting out a big red start button cause this might give me VTEC yea?

Anyway Thanks for the input guys.
