Did a GM parts department enter your mind? They can make a key from your VIN.

AHHH
The old YouTube has the answer trick.
Cutting wires on a modern car IS NOT recommended.
EVER!

At least you can reconnect those severed wires reinstall the original ignition switch and get a new key cut.

Has the ignition RECALL been done ? If not, you could possibly still get it done.....FREE.
It would include the ignition switch and 2 new keys.....FREE.
Get the old key cylinder replaced under the old "good will" service......FREE
