lost my key....

Man i have lost the key to my dawg. I took the plastic surround off the column and took the back of the switch out. i can easily crank it but the steering wheel is still locked. How do i go about getting it unlokced with out the key? Im sure i will find it soon but i have been looking for 3 days and its saturday.... i got places to go... HELP!!!!!!!

have you tried calling a lock smith they can make u a key if you cant find yours.   also i would indeed make copies of your new key just incase this happens again

Try any mazda key first and see if that will work. Those ignition switches tend to slop out real bad as time wears on and somtimes will start with other mazda keys. I had a beater long box that would start with the key from my ride and the key it came with. They weren't the same key though because the long box key wouldn't start my ride. If you need to remove the ignition switch from the column you can use a die grinder with a cutoff wheel to cut slots in the smooth headed screws that hold the switch to the column and simply unscrew them with a slot screwdriver. If you have the colum shroud off it will be easy to see what to do. Pulling the switch off will unlock the column and you can go from there. Good luck with it man.

  Two bolts hold the lock cylinder to the steering counsel. Undo them and the ignition switch will come off. I re-keyed once from a salvage yard pulled the doors and Ignition. I think the column look will come off with the Ignition.

Thanks guys...it worked. took my dremel and cut a slot in each bolt and they came right out. Now atleasst when the key resurfaces i can put it all back together. Thanks again.

Glad to hear it worked out for you. If you can't find the key call the dealer and see if they can cut you one from your VIN.
