Help removing a stuck ignition key

Post by shawnjon82 »

So my problem is this I have a parts car that has a key stuck in the ignition. The car has a lot of the wiring removed so I can’t put power to it and remove it. Is there a release somewhere on the column to remove the key?
I have the plastic pieces off and have access to everything

Taking a look at this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3554&p=27072&hilit=column#p27072

I would think on the green connector 12 volts to the violet wire and a ground to the black would actuate the release.

You know what scratch that post I made above^^^^^ That's the shifter not the ignition key. You got a violet and yellow wire on your ignition switch??
