If I'm getting this right. That wire should go the small pin on the solenoid. Marked I.

You will probably need to drill out the center of the ignition lock cylinder to remove it without the key. Start with a small bit and make sure you drill straight into it and then use a little bit bigger drill bit. Keep doing that until you can turn the key lock cylinder and you'll be able to remove it.

remove the surrounding cowling to ign switch,very important DISCONNECT the battery first making sure the door is open so it doesnt lock on you ,on the top of the ign switch is a protruding pin this needs to be drilled out and completely removed ,long nose pliers will be required after drilling to remove the pin ,the ign switch will then be free to pull out.Drilling this pin will be labourious and time comsuming but is the only way to be able to remove the ign switch.Good luck keep me posted

get new ignition module

You can not drill thru a broke drill bit,it is hardened
steel.

Have to try & chip it out first

If you get to a point where you have drilled some & have
a hold on it, heat the spot some & try a short left hand drill bit
to turn it out

They are avail at tool supply stores

The ignition has to be programed to the E.C.U.This can be done by your local dealer.

the only way i found that you can replace the ignition switch is to take it to somebody who has a strong enough drill bit, they will then have to drill out the rods that appear to be welded in, the guys at the dealership ended up really struggling and i got stuck with a big bill,
by the way any auto parts store charge you about $100 for the ignition switch as well as $100 for the lock cylinder which chances are you will need at that point, especially if you have the problem any of the older toyotas have, which is keys broke off in the ignition,
for as great of vehicles as toyota has made you would thinnk the keys would be stronger, but my previa van is the third i have owned and is the third that had a key that broke in it, and this one eventually stopped turning with only have a key, and $300 later and after every homie of mine who was a mechanic telling me they were lost on this ignition, and it is running again, so best of luck to any who check this out mcl
Why use a drill bit? A 4.5 mm metal drill did the job for me in approx. 2 minutes. (A 91 model though).

lock cylinder can be replaced by removing top and bottom cosmetic parts. ignition switch is more complex and may have been put in with theft proof screws, meaning they wull have to be drilled out. do a search on www.youtube.com there are videos of folks doing this.

Do not drill out there is a pin hole in the side of the switch visible after removing the covers around the swithch you may need to remove the steering wheel I never had to turn the ignition swith to on position and then put a pin or small drill bit in the pin hole push in on it and then simultaneously pull out on the chrome key tumbler wiggle it abit while pushing in on the bit to remove center tumbler assembly/contacts.
