There are no wires to your key and tumbler. All the key does is pull a rod that is connected to the ignition switch, which is at the bottom of your steering column. I suppose if there is no "chip" on your key, and you can get the steering wheel to turn, you could pull on that rod to get it running.

Resistive cottection between PIP (pin6) wire and connector at the ignition module. Cleaned and soldered wire to connector pin. Runs fine.

hard! there is a hole on the steering column near the lock cylinder. normally you can turn the key and stick a small screw driver in it to pull out the lock cylinder. in this case you can drill the pin through that hole then pull it out
