How to disengage the PATS anti-theft?

Unfortunately, the only way to repair this would be to replace the components that were damaged and get new keys for it or have the new cylinder keyed to the same key you have.

However, you can get a PCM that has this system removed from it but then that means it will be easier to steal the vehicle. Since this was already attempted, I would just replace the damaged parts so that you can get the vehicle running again.

I attached the info on how to replace the ignition switch for your info.

Please let us know if you have other questions and we can go from there. Thanks

Depending on the damage done to the ignition you might want to just find a used steering column and swap that into your car and then re-key the cylinder to match your original keys if you still have them. The PATS system in that car uses a transponder ring around the key cylinder to read the key and sends that data to the PCM. If the mounting for that ring and cylinder were damaged the used column would work okay. Plus if you have the original keys there would be no programming involved, just changing the key cylinder out would be about all that would be needed.
