Help! Please! I am having a hell of a time getting my 1985 CJ-7 to start, or even turn over. I can get the engine to crank (won't start, though) if I swap the i and s connections on the solenoid, but it won't stop cranking when I turn the key back to off. Have to pull the wires to get it to...

1984 CJ7 w/ stock steering column. Have got to the point where I have to turn the key almost 180 degrees to start. Looked at the ignition adjustment posts but didn't see this problem. I'm thinking I need to drop the column and adjust the switch position but I'm also worried I might just need...

So, over the course of the last 2 days I pulled and disassembled my steering column all to change the ignition switch. (Long story, yes I now know you don't really need to pull the whole column to replace the switch on top of the column). Everything else went back in and back on. Only the switch...

Afternoon, first time poster. I am in a bind. I have a 07 Jeep Liberty 4WD 3.7l ( I believe) V6.

After quite a few attempts (over 20) I...

Hey guys my first post! Just lost my only key to my 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara this past weekend. In an idiot move I changed out the ignition cylinder instead of getting a new key. (Haven't gotten registration yet and locksmith wouldn't do it.) This was done by drilling a path for the cylinder...

Here Goes Driving down the road and my 1988 jeep dies. Nothing at the ignition switch. Seemed like the battery was dead but lights were bright. I can bump the starter at the starter relay and it turns over perfectly. Found a burnt wire on the starter relay ( centre top ). Fixed the...

Hi. I have Grand Cherokee 2011 Hemi. Recently the car started giving me problems when starting, and the dealership cannot diagnose the problem. The car starts perfectly fine, and then after about 2-3 seconds the engine cuts off clean. This happens several times until eventually it stays...

Driving down the road the other day and heard a loud backfire and lost compression. Had it towed back to the house and finally started working on it today. Just bought this Jeep about a month ago so wasnt expecting much trouble because it was in solid condition. The engine turns over and has...

Hi all, first post here. I'm not just new to jeeps but I'm also a car noob. Extent of my work usually doesn't go past being able to change my oil. (Although I'd like to learn to be become more tech-savvy.) Anyway, I just purchased a new battery ('01 Wrangler. Automatic 4L) thinking maybe my...
