It would not come out even with an accessory and pushing the pin was advised to drill. The pin up did not work still stuck was advised to drill keyhole nightmare, drilled in drilled and drilled in ended up damaging housing have another housing putting it in now I am lost with the wiring. I don’t know exactly where it goes, can someone give me a diagram of where everything plugs up back to? Can you show me the housing on the car listed above please?

Do you mean the wiring is loose from their connectors? Can you please upload a picture of what you are talking about? There are many electrical connectors, but they should just plug right in, here is an exploded view of the column and the connectors with instructions on how to remove the column and reinstall it. Please let me know if you need anything else. Please check out the images below and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello Ken, and thank you!
I’d like to start with my humble apology only after I sent the message, I realized it was not very clear as to what my problem was.
But clearly due to your expertise, , knowledge and professionalism you provided me with exactly what I needed. For that I Thank you!
Know if I made a quick summary of my situation, key cylinder went out on my 2004 Toyota Avalon in attempt to remove it. It will not come out was able to turn the key to count freely through all phases of the assembly with no resistance it all part of it something broken inside, obviously. But being an accessory and pushing the release button, it will not budge tries attempted. Several times used to penetrating all alarms. Everything was suggested I tried nothing worked, and I read online and was told I needed to eat a bit a screwdriver into it, or drill it out, I started with screwdriver never freed it and then proceeded to drill it out after drilling probably 85% of the entire key Tumblr it finally gave way.
Call the process of all my heist to remove this thing he’s of damaging the housing assembly had to replace it.
And due to my frustration of them, cost of this song with immobilizers, and the agony of removing the Tumblr self, let alone the housing assembly with those fabulous security screws that hold it on. I am plugged everything without really paying attention so I did not know exactly how to get it all back together. Jakubek screw my starter switch on in the immobilizer stuff bro. Thanks to you. I have got it now. Sorry, that was a bit long-winded, but now you know exactly what I was dealing with.
This is my first experience with 2CarPos, and I could not have asked for better assistance. As I mentioned earlier, thanks to your knowledge Aaron faster response. My car is back on road.
Can’t speak for anyone else and their situation but I can only hope that everyone else is attempting to use your website without such wonderful help and success, as I have up once again for that to you and everyone associated with 2CarPos, I am greatly appreciative.
