Immobilizer bypass??

Ford F-150 2003 XL Supercab 150000 miles
want to bypass the immobilizer/transponder unit. no programmed key. Changed the steering column to avoid loose wires and accidentally cut the wire to the immobilizer. I saw an idatalink ADS CA immobilizer bypass 64K Multi Platform on ebay and not sure if it could work without w/o a functioning immobilizer unit installed. Not sure if this is what I need?

Unless you have the pull cord for that feature, you will need to slightly lift the base of the seat, reach behind the back and lift the retention spring bar.

No crank no start

Ford F-150 2007 Manual transmission 4.2l v6 120000 miles
Battery great, terminals clean, cables at battery cleaned and secured, no crank, no noise, starter was playfully loose, manipulated starter wires, engine wanted to crank but weak, tried again and slower each time until nothing, found small wire at starter was exposed and burnt(I think burnt). Did replace battery recently( dead and corroded post, replaced clamps, cut wire back (three months ago), tried to start again after splicing in replaced section of wire. Still nothing , lights do not dim when cranking, have interior lights. Checked fuses and relays, had gas.

Amz shade tree from United States a month ago
You can just rip the whole system out of the truck. All the boxes are the antenna in the steering wheel in the rear quarter panel of the driver side.
There may be more but that's what will allows my truck to run. I have a broken steering lock And no Ignition switch. It is supposed to have a key fob. But I do not have those keys anymore. It's still runs just by. I took all the boxes out. And that's where I'm at with it.
