If you have a key with a chip you won't be able to cause it'll go into thief mode and shut fuel and power to starter off.

There are no wires to your key and tumbler. All the key does is pull a rod that is connected to the ignition switch, which is at the bottom of your steering column. I suppose if there is no "chip" on your key, and you can get the steering wheel to turn, you could pull on that rod to get it running.

Since it works when hotwired, I'm guessing its the blower switch. Below are instructions and diagrams should you try to change it out yourself. Best of luck.

hotwiring will not unlock your ignition which also controls your steering lock perhaps you can call the dealership and have the courier a key will cost you more but it may still be better for you they will ask you for vin number and perhaps proof of ownership it cannot hurt to call and ask
