It's not wiring -- it is a cable, IF (an important if) your '92 is like my '93s .... 200 1992

I can't speak from any experience with a '92, but on my two '93s, there is a cable (bicycle shift cable-type) that runs from the floor shifter to the key lock cylinder.
Because of this mechanical link, you can't take the shift out of Park (even with a press on the brake cable) unless your key in inserted and turned (to I); likewise, you can't turn and remove your key unless the shift is back in Park.

However, you can defeat this by removing the shift cover and pulling on the bicycle cable :-). In fact, you can detach the cable completely if you want to defeat this connection.

Perhaps, in your case (if it's anything like my '93s) the cable is broken.

Good luck.
