My 97 tj has a three position ignition switch (acc, off, and on), and a button you have to push to get the key out of the ignition, but my friends 97 only has 2 positions on his ignition switch(on and off) and no button you have to push to get the key out. What gives?

That explains the button, but why wouldn't they have an acc position?

I have a '97 TJ with a 3 speed auto. No button and has three positions on the ignition. Key turned towards you = acc. position, middle = off position, and key turned away from you = on position.

5 speed with a button

it might have a 3rd position, you sure it isnt turning the key towards you?

thats there "Accessory" is. if you put the key in, turn it once, thats run, then push it more thats start, you need to turn it back past wwhen you put it in originally to make it accessory
