Hey WJ Owners. I'm having the exact opposite of the key not turning problem. How do I tell whether my Ignition Switch went out, or if just the Key Tumbler finally let go. Went to start the WJ and it was like all the indents of turning the key were gone. Turning the key back to ACC, the indent is...

I was wondering does anyone know how to pull the ignition key switch out of the steering column? I took the steering wheel apart hoping to pop out the ignition switch and there is no way of getting it out that way. The Jeep truck is a 1973 J4000 if anyone can help I'd appreciate it. I've...

Hey y'all! (For starters, I drive a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 V6) A week ago my battery terminals were loose so I had to jump the car a few times in order to get it running for a few days. After these few jumps, the Vehicle Display Module would stay on while the car was off and...

The key on my 1986 CJ7, 258 5-speed will turn to the run position, but will not go to start. I am able to jump the solinoid to get it started and it will drive. Is this an easy fix for a shade tree mechanic, or should I take it somewhere? If anyone has a simple cure, that would really be nice!

I have 2006 WK 3.0 CRD model. This jeep with me 4 years and it my second Cherokee. So more and less i have some idea about general problems of Jeep. From last year suddenly in ignition i start getting flashing dashboard lights and Gauge vibration and fully electric cut off. I didnt hurry to...

I am going to attempt to bypass the ignition switch on my tilt wheel 1990 4.2 YJ and replace it with a dash mounted key switch. The steering internals have been gradually going bad and becoming temperamental over the last several years and finally something has broken inside so that the only...

I decided to put something out for people that had the same trouble finding information on a steering column for 76 cj7. While Jeeps can have most anything I believe mine is original and I could not find information on it. The closest was a 1980-86 column with automatic transmission but was...

Hey Guys, I got into my Jeep last week and turned the ignition switch. It started up fine and died off about three seconds into running. This happened twice. I tried to get a jump just to see if that would work. Now it does not even start. This week I had it towed to a Big O Tires because I...

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...

I need to replace the ignition switch actuator pin in my 2008 Wrangler X. I can find the switch itself, no problem, but all I can find are actuator pins that are advertised as fitting everything up to an '06. Anyone know if one of these actually can fit the JK Wranglers or - if not - where to...

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...

Hey guys, I've been having problems with my ignition, so I'm changing the switch on top of the steering column. Problem is, the new switch doesn't fit the way the old one does. They're the exact same part (minus 20+ years of grime), but the actuator pin that goes into it doesn't fit into the...

Hi, I'm a new member on these forums so please forgive me if I'm not posting this in the right space. I couldn't find anyone else that had a similar problem to this so if anyone can help me out, it would be much appreciated. I have a 1993 Cherokee with the 4.0 liter engine. Earlier today, I...

Hi all, I have a 2005 WK. Within the last week, I've had 5 instances where all the lights on my dash light up (with the exception of the check engine light) for a few seconds and then turn back off. From what I've seen on the forum, sounds like a failing ignition switch. I've also received the...

Having read a bunch of other guys build threads I decided to start mine and have it follow my WK's evolution. Hope you enjoy! Still stock on the outside,few improvements under the hood. Current upgrades are all fuel economy focused and all done DIY; getting mpgs up so that big tires don't hurt...

So I came into possession of a 94 XJ Cherokee Sport awhile ago and am having some issues. While rather competent in basic mechanics there are a few shortfalls i have when it comes to driveway wrenching. I recently lost my blower motor, turn signals (hazards work) rear defrost, cig-lighter and...

The ignition switch on my '99 TJ had been getting finicky. Today it would turn all the way and the dash lights would light up but no juice was getting to the starter. I did some googling and learned about the ignition switch actuator pin assembly. I got one at O'Reilly for $41 and replaced it...

Greetings. I am a new member and this is my first post but I wanted to start out by saying thank you to everyone's information I have used to keep my jeep rolling. However, all good things come to an end and I am completely dumbfounded. My 78 cj7 (amc 304) was having ignition problems ( would...

hello everyone I am new to jeeps and got my first one recently. I got a 1994 yj wrangler with a 4.0 engine. It has no ac unit and no tilt steering wheel. my problem is it doesn't start when key is in the on position. The jeep was stolen and the thieves cut several wires. I managed to fix them(I...

Hey there, I'm new to this forum so any help would be greatly appreciated. Jeep Cherokee XJ 1992. 4.0L, In-line 6. Backstory: Awhile back I noticed that my ignition lock seemed jammed and that I couldn't turn the key at all. After working it for awhile it finally "popped" into the on...
