SandmanWs7 has a really good, detailed write up on bypassing the VATS.
It's not on this site(not that I know of), but it should be easily found with a google search for "How to bypass your VATS". If you need anything more specific for a search- ls1.

Trying another key. If you don't have one try getting one made. Sounds like you got a broke wire though. I would pull the cover off the column and look
