* Are you the owner of the vehicle? If you aren't, it's advisable to stop now or get a lawyer in advance of the legal hassles you can expect to attract.
* To hot wire a car, access the wiring either in the dashboard (may require force) or in the engine compartment.
o Using dashboard access:
1. Find the ignition circuit wires. In older cars they are generally red. In newer cars, they may also be blue, yellow, or black, I'm afraid. Luckily for you, there are wiring diagrams for almost all car makes available. Identify the correct wires using a wiring diagram.
2. Remove the ends of the colored wires from the ignition. Touch them together until the engine turns over.
3. Enjoy your drive.
o Using engine access:
1. Put a wire between the battery's positive terminal and the connection point of the starter motor's ignition wire. The engine turns over.
2. Enjoy your drive.
If the steering lock is engaged, or there is an immobiliser fitted, you may still have problems driving the vehicle.
* How to Deal with Lost, Damaged or Deformed Keys:
o Some modern locksmiths claim to be able to deliver a new key to you at roadside (even a security coded one). It is NOT recommended you damage your own vehicle. Ring your breakdown recovery service and ask for help. They will:
1. Offer to ring a locksmith.
2. Recover the car (and you) back to your home.
