i am running out of ideas here, so, some fresh blood is needed.. lol...

You can run a wire to the solenoid on the starter and use the jump terminal in the engine compartment to energize the solenoid which in turn will spin the starter, so if you have the key in the run position you should be able to start it. I think the EWS only prevents the starter from spinning.

Edit: Make sure the trans is in Park and the parking brake engaged. The above method will starts the car in any gears. Speaking of gears, does the gear indicator still show what the gear the trans is in?

I presume it's an automatic so, please don't shout at me for stating the bleedin' obvious but..........is the gearstick in park or neutral when trying to start her up?
