Hi,
The computer can't be bypassed. When you say there is no ignition, what do you mean? Was the switch damaged or removed? See pic below.
Let me know.

They were putting a screwdriver in a hole which would be I believe part 3 on the diagram you sent.

Okay, did you note if there is any damage to the wiring or connector to the switch? Also, what happens when you try to start the vehicle?

Doesn't look like it. It was cranking and not starting but know it won't crank either. Lights all come on radio and everything.

When you try cranking, do you hear a click or anything? Also, try this simple load test and let me know what you find.
