Car Broken Into and Ignition Lock Taken

[Izzmo]

So, someone broke into my car last night... obviously tried to steal it. They didn't take anything though.

How in the world do I fix this?

Am I wrong in thinking you can start the car with a screwdriver now?

Take a look at RockAuto, under your car heading, look for Ignition: Ignition Lock Cylinder. They come "with or without" a transponder key, and run from $25.00 to $70.00. It is hard to tell if the switch itself is damaged, but they usually are not. I would look around the scene of the crime, as that assembly is not of much use to anyone else.

no, it thinks someone is stealing the car since there is no key, so it won't let it start.

that's what I did. Now I just need to figure out how to program the key.
