ignition key assembly

Post by blink_2009 »

I recently bought a 1992 mx3 precidia. The guy i bought it from a long time friend, had it stolen and got it back, the ignition tumblers are destroyed and I have no idea how to remove it? I am toyin with a elctric security swtch but I would also like to know how the electrics work in the ignition area. I havent actually got down and got right in there to check where current is comin from and what I thought I would poll some experts on this one before i start cuttin and what not :P hopefully you can help me out.

I beleive there is one screw behind the plastic peice behind the key cylinder. Take out the screw, pry back the little clip, and pull it out and use a flat head screwdriver and you can now start the car ect... without a key. Thats for a temp solution, Just find another ignition and key set and replace it, theres like two allen screws on top of the steering column.
