Why didn't you just take the barrel out and get it rekeyed at a locksmith?
Get out the test lamp and start probing for power to the column. You might have knocked a relay loose???
so i was thinking about it and when i changed my altenator belt i forgot to disconnect the battery. when i was messing with the altenator it sparked do you have any info on where or what relay/inline fuse would be the problem?
ps. i was goin to test it with the test lamp but turns out the test lamp i have only does ac voltage so i will be purchasing a dc test lamp soon thanks
soo it ends up it was the 80 amp main fuse well it starts now but i think i might have knocked the idle out of wack lol this car sucks its ok though atleast i have it running now
