key with remote stolen…only have regular fob…in process of trying to fix power outlet, someone got electrical details wrong, cant turn off antitheft without starting vehicle, wouldnt take a jump, bought new battery, big old mess. Do you happen to have schematic of dashboard wiring? The warning icon was a padlock behind an engine. Or do you have troubleshooting advice? Thanks. Liz

You can bypass the anti-theft device by having a someone that “tunes” these cars for a living to make more horsepower. They can re-flash the ECU to bypass the anti-theft completely. But it will cost you more than having a dealer make you a new key.

But you have lots of other problems, as you say. I don’t have a schematic, the internet is your friend, search there.
