You have broken wires at the ignition cylinder. These are in the column, and the only repair is replacement of the cylinder. If you choose a used column, be aware that there are 15 possibilities of key values, and the chances of getting the same value are slim. A dealer can use a tool called interrogator to read your key value. You can bypass the cylinder, down at the connector at base of column, either with a new cylinder plugged in or, knowing the resistance value of your key pellet, putting a resistor across the harness side terminals.
