The following are the steps to take when hotwiring your own car (i do not condone theft) ; )

You need the following items but only actually need one.

--ITEMS-- Slotted screwdriver (flathead)

               Insulated gloves (or any pair of gloves)

               Wire stripper (not really needed, just to make it clean)

--Step 1-- You need to remove the ignition cover, before continuing, be sure to exercise extreme caution. The following steps can result in painful ass electrical shocks, so follow carefully.

The first step is to gain access to the wiring. Most cars have large plastic panels that snap together and cover the top and bottom of the steering column. You'll want to carefully remove these panels so that the cylinder (and the wires running into it) are exposed. At some point you'll want to put these pieces back together, so be sure to use a feather touch while separating them.

You'll typically see three pairs of wires running into the back of the cylinder. Don't freak the hell out -- each pair just represents a different key position on the ignition. In short, one pair will trigger the battery-only position, another pair for the lights and radio ect.. this also means one pair is responsible for the final key position -- starting the car.

--STEP 2-- Here's where it gets tricky. There's no universal color system for the wires.  However, in a pinch the red pair is usually the set that provides power to the car, and the brown (which can be a single wire or a pair depending on the car) handles the starter.

Now,  Although connecting the power wires is relatively safe, the wires responsible for starting the car carry live current. Under no circumstances should you touch the bare starter wires! With that in mind, strip the insulation off the ends of the wires and carefully touch them together. You should see a spark and hear the engine fire up. Once it's started idling, separate and cover the ends of the starter wires. They still pose an electrical hazard even after the vehicle has started, and you don't want them dangling around your knees.

Follow these steps and you're on your way to driving in no time!
