My steering wheel lock was engaged to tow the car.
The key used was deteriorated and damaged the ignition lock cylinder when used.
because the steering wheel is locked I cannot move the ignition lock cylinder to a position to replace it.
because the ignition does not recognize the key or is damaged I cannot unlock the steering wheel.
I had seen videos on hammer a screwdriver into the ignition until it could be turned to remove the faulty ignition cylinder.
with the pass key system will this still be possible?
it will not prevent the steering wheel lock from releasing?
My only agenda is to assess the engine before committing to a swap as the strut towers are toast
so if jumping the starter or something else may work I'm open to suggestions
Thanx for looking the car is a 98 grand prix gtp
