Can't turn ignition key on 90 Cherokee
Two days ago I was driving my xj and the blower motor cut out. It came right back on so I thought maybe I imagined it. Then yesterday when I started it up after work there was no blower motor, no turn signal, no radio. The ammeter on the dash was at 14v. This morning everything was fine - so I thought I would have the altenator checked at lunch. Then...it happened.
Put the key in, but I cannot get the ignition to turn forward or backward. I thought maybe it was not completely in park so pushed the gearshift forward and tried again. No go. Now I cannot move the gearshift out of park and cannot turn the ignition. Tried putting the 2wd/4wd shift lever in neutral, but that does not work either.
So, is this the neutral safety switch locking things up or something else?
Thanks.
