Default car wont start

even after all passlock reset tricks
the car wont start, so we took apart the covers and discovered a green/brown wire

this wire is "attached" to the ignition switch wire


any possible solution?
(( sorry if i'm in the wrong section lol ))
btw car is my brother's 4 door G5 "Pursuit"

the why we did this in first place it's because the key broke-in-half in the switch and as we managed to get it out that trouble happened
--------------------------
edit: would like an answer before we spend on a new ignition switch
and the car starts when we jump the starter (for 4-5 sec then stops)

Is the fuel pump coming on? It sounds to me like it isn't so check your fuel pump relay under the hood.

The way I diagnose things is by figuring out what the motor is not getting.

Any gasoline engine needs 3 things:spark, fuel, air

Figure out which one it's not getting and you will have a path to figure out whats wrong from there.
