560sel stuck ignition
 

I have an 89 560 sel that I picked up as a parts car because it had a stuck ignition.

I pulled the ignition and couldn't get it to spin freely so after about 3 hours of frustration and no progress it ended up on my shop table with about 6 holes drilled in it

Is there any way to hot wire the car or start it without an ignition/key?
Or, do I have to get a new ignition?

The kid I got it from claimed that it ran but I haven't had the pleasure of starting it yet.

sure, disconnect the electrical plug from the ignition switch & unbolt the ignition switch.
reconnect the electrical to that switch & use a screwdriver to turn the ignition switch.

both of those are in the ignition module behind the dash where the key goes in right?

what do they both look like?

sorry for the questions, it has just been a while since I had it all apart
