My sons jeep wagoneer has an intermittent issue where the starter wont do any thing. Iam thinking with 169k on it that the ignition switch may be the culprit. Not the lock cylinder but the switch itsself. I am new to jeeps but I do know chevy and ford pretty well.
Opinions please.
If the tumbler turns, its not the issue most likely. Switch is at the bottom of the column, pretty easy to replace. You can also try turning the switch to "run" and then jumping the two front pegs on the solenoid. You can also jump the key entirely at the starter switch itself. If that works, that limits it to the solenoid itself, neutral start switch, or the run position of the switch (Which has failed on both of my FSJ's).
I meant the aftual switch at the bottom of the column. I cant think of why else it would only actvup every few days. If its not the problem the part is cheap and should be changed anyway
The NSS, neutral safety switch mounted on the transmission, you can bypass by hotwiring the blue wire on the starter solenoid inner fender well to the battery plus.... keep hands clear of the fan, put key in the hot position.
