Assuming the bike is yours to ride, you could, simply remove the ignition switch, unscrew the plastic lower and separate the switch from the lock and then turn the the centre of the switch with a screwdriver until the ignition lights up, when the lock is removed take it and have a new key cut.

1997 GMC SONOMA i drilled out my ignition on now the security light is on and the truck wont start ....... what do i do to bypass the security without the key

You did what someone who stole your truck would try, with predictable results. I suspect your only option is to take it to a dealer or qualified repair shop, have another ignition switch installed, and code the new key into the truck's security system.

How do i start my 98 durango without a lost key

You may be able to get a copy made by a dealer. I've had used cars with lousy copies of keys before. If you take, your registration/title with you VIN on it to a dealer to get a new key made. I'd call first, as helpfulness varies from location to location.

With steering wheel lock mechanism combined into ignition switch mechanism, you can't just "hot wire" your car like you see in movies. Starting a car and being able to steer it are two different things. Also, you probably do not want to mangle your ignition switch by ramming a flat head screw driver into it to try to bypass the steering lock mechanism (like someone who stole my car years ago did).

Getting a replacement key from a dealer can be much cheaper than repairing a botched job of trying to bypass the ignition switch.

96 jeep cherokee country starts but then shuts off

Could be a problem with the key switch or a relay. You can check the ignition and fuel pump circuits with a meter and see if you are loosing power from the key switch when you let go of the key.

96 Probe GT. Fuel pump doesn't run when it should.

Does your car run? Some fuel pumps run quiet so you will need to get your ear close to the gas tank and have someone turn on the ignition. The pumps only run about 3 seconds when the ignition is turn on without starting the engine.

I have a yamaha dirt bike that someone stole and

Check the igniter. Go back to the dealer and ask him to see one. Then go back and find it on your bike. Yamaha's usually have them under the seat, or left side. But I don't know exactly what year you have. Run the VIN on the frame under my tips and tricks is a web site that'll break it down for you.

Someone stole my 1992 volvo 960 station wagon. they stole everything in it including the owner's manual. i got it back but someone still has the extra key. i need to know where the fuses are and the...

Instead of the fuses you should try the relays. Fuses are commonplace and easy to just take a fuse from something not needed and slide it into the ignition slot and the car will start. You would have to remove all the fuses and then place them all in and it would be frustrating at best. Fuses are also pretty easy to come by. What I used to do until I had an alarm professionally installed was to go under the hood and find the car's relays which are basically self resetting fuses. Under the relay cover should be a diagram of which relay goes where but not that it really matters because generally the relays should be uniform. Just remove them and shut the hood. Once the starter relay is removed the vehicle will not start or even turn over for that matter. Unless this dude has a tow truck or incredibly strong arms and a lot of patience the car will not move. Plus it only takes a minute once you get the hang of it. Pop the hood remove all relays shut the hood and be on your way. Then when your ready to start the vehicle just put all of them back in. Another possible solution is to change the locks but that option isn't free. Either way though its up to you. I hope this helps....
