Some can be removed intact, some cant.depends on how yours broke.Its mounted to the back of the lock cylinder inside the door.
It most likely fell off the lock and it is stuck in ARMED position, not allowing the car to start. Remove door panel and look at the lock on the back and check it. The alarm switch is a small white plastic piece right at the back of the lock and it has wires coming out of it. After 5mins. reconnect the positive battery connector then put the key on ON position and wait for 10secs. One side of the start relay leads to the starter the other to the ignition switch. Depending on the vehicle it could be anywhere from 6 to 12 volts. If no voltage reading somthing has failed on the ignition switch side of relay. A relay is simalar to a fuse and will be housed w other fuses under the hood. This can be done w the ohms setting on tester without removing the fuse. Look at the top of the fuse there are exposed points that allow the tip of each lead to contact the fuse. Remember signal wire or fuses this is probably going to be your problem. Put the car in gear e brake on someone in the vehicle in case the car start and you are in front of it and it runs you over so at least they step on the brakes. Key on ASD exposed as your collapse the starter relay does the ASD relay turn on Here why if you can control all the relay from under the hood you will need a ignition switch (the eletrical part). You hitting the ignition switch multiple times heats up cables, they expand making better contact. Clean your cables. Also have your battery checked - that is hard on batteries). It contains the contacts that have separated from the housing. The cylinder switch is only the key part and not the electrical contacts part. Behind the plastic dash panel (once removed) you will see it in fact sticks in an aluminum tube that goes down 2 or 3 inches, then makes 2 turns, left to attatch to the steering column, and right to attatch to the actual ignition switch. The gear and rod assembly that the cylinder attatches to that allows it to rotate the switch usually shatters in the middle and the key starts freewheeling because there is no longer any attatchment to any of the gears or springs or click points that youd usually feel as the rotational resistance. Youll need at least a lock cylinder housing (dealer stock em, they break all the tyme), and IF your cylinder is undamaged, change the housing (it bolts to the steering column and extends from column towards center console area where the ignition SWITCH is actually located). If your cylinder is damaged or the housing is so shredded you cant remove the lock cylinder by normal means.then youll also need the cylinder.and it will have to be recoded to the vehicle so the anti theft will allow the new keyscylinder to start the car. If your old cylinder and keys are intact, then transfer them to the new housing and car wont even know it happened and should start up and work as normal.
