Ok, I'm having the same issue...Mine is a '97 TJ, Auto...fun part with mine, key will turn to ACC and "Run" position, but will not turn any further to engage the starter. I replaced my ignition actuator pin set up (part #924-704 from O'Reilly)...re-installed everything, still no joy...I can take the cylinder out an start it with a screwdriver, so I am guessing it may be my cylinder at this point...any thoughts?

Did you turn the ignition switch when you had it apart as suggested in the link I posted?

That is an important part of the process as the results of that test dictates what to do next.
I did...still didn't want to turn fully...not saying it was a waste of $60 for the actuator pin set up, but I am leaning towards my actual cylinder at this point...I can put a screw driver in the cylinder slot, and it will start...I've sprayed the cylinder with carb cleaner (lots of nasty stuff came out), then applied locksmith oil to it...it turns a little better, without being in the cylinder hole, but once inserted it will only turn to the "on" position.
