Ok guys... please dont think I want to lear how to hot wire my car so I can go steal someone else.. Well the thing is that unfortunatelly I got my car stolen a couple weeks ago. They broke my stearing colum, stole my wheels, and my fmic with bov. After weeks of trying to put my car back together I did. I kind of put everything back except the steering colum. Now my question is how can I turn my car on. My key goes in but doesnt turn. Now I have these pics and they show that I have a white, 2 blues, and a black/white stripe wires hanging. (im guessing these are the ones they used.) I also have like some king of white looking box that has a botton, like a little switch kind of thing. I tried putting all the wires together and pressing the switch at the same time but nothing happens. The only thing that happens is when putting all the wires together the dash light turn on (like when you turn the key) but doesnt crank. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out. I have been without my car for like a 2 months and really wanted back. Any info or help would really be appreciated. THANKS!!!

PICS:

The big white one is 12v constant the Blackand RED is the starter wire...then the Ignition is black and white.

Im asking questions about my car... not looking to steal anyones car since its not worth going to jail for an eclipse...:beatentodeath:
 
Why wont your key turn it dont look damaged. If you do start it is your steering wheel locked there's an easier solution if you can turn that ignition.
 
Put your car on a flatbed. Take it to a reputable shop or dealership. Have said shop or dealership repair the steering column and ignition components. Have you insurance company pay for these repairs.
