There should be a small cover somewhere near the gear shifter. Just pop that cover off with a flathead, and their will be a button that will release the gear shifter. Tow truck drivers use it to put a car in neutral.

Hey guys, I was in this situation, I lost my keys, and decided to hot wire my Dodge Neon, 2000. It worked just fine, and the steering column was not no trouble. But, I could not get the car into gear. The shifter seems to have some sort of bar through it, and I don’t think it’s controlled by a relay, it seems to disengage when the key is turned. Any ideas?

The general methodology described in the article is correct. I just hot-wired my 93 escort, there are still plenty of cars around with simple ignitions.

i have a 91 ford i paid $250 for, the ignition is messed up and i am not about to pay a couple hundred in parts to fix it so i am just hooking up toggle switches. only thing is i am not sure what wires go to what. i have bat. 1 and 2, ign. 1 and 2, starter, and acc. i am guessing i connect acc. 1 and 2 with bat. 1 to give me all my dash lights, then touch bat. 2 to starter to start the car. anyone know for sure?

To the guy with the BWM worried about the remote starter (push button start), rest assured that this system uses an RFID and a transponder. That is to say, the car send out a signal which “polls” for the key FOB (it needs to be within a few feet of the car). Without the digitally coded key FOB in proximity, you got nothing. Ultimate safety.

Most of the reply’s in this thread are totally bogus, and BS, some of which are simply made up.

Yeah, you can hot-wire the older cards that use a standard ignition switch on the column, but not the newer cars which use key fobs with RFID, and transponders.
