Okay, the ignition is on the dash not the column. I am replacing the ignition lock tumbler and i broke the anti theft module so too. So do i need to go have it program by a locksmith now or can i do it myself?

When you say the theft module, are you talking about the deterrent exciter module that is shown in the picture below? If so, I also attached the programming of the system and this is not listed as it is just a transmitter that the BCM energizes and does not require programming. Let me know if you are talking about something different. Thanks.
