Take a look at the steering column rebuild in the tech section to start off with. We also have wiring diagrams in the same section. You should be able to replace everything without much trouble. Do you have a local pick and pull type junk yard?

Check the tech section, it gives you step by step on how to get down to the cylinder.

If they broke the column jacket just get a used column. If it's just the ignition cylinder then just replace the unit.
