Re: Can't turn ignition key on 90 Cherokee
IGNITION SWITCH R & I (93MY)
Removal (Cherokee & Wrangler)
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. On Cherokee, remove
lower instrument panel trim panel. On Wrangler, remove windshield
wiper intermittent control module and bracket. Place ignition key lock
in ACC position.
2) Remove 2 headlight dimmer switch attaching nuts. Before
removing dimmer switch, tape 2 actuator rods to steering column to
prevent accidental disengagement from upper part of steering column.
Lift switch off lock rod.
3) Remove ignition switch-to-steering column attaching
screws. Disengage ignition switch from remote actuator rod by lifting
it straight up. Remove switch from steering column.
Installation (Cherokee & Wrangler)
1) Place key lock switch in ACC position. Move position
slider of switch to ACC position. Connect non-Black connector to
switch, then connect Black connector to switch. One connector will
interlock the other connector.
2) Slip remote actuator rod into access hole on switch.
Install switch to steering column. Use care not to move slider bar on
switch out of ACC detent position. Remove ignition switch actuator rod
securing tape from steering column.
3) Install 2 ignition switch-to-steering column screws finger
tight. DO NOT tighten screws yet.
4) To adjust ignition switch on non-tilt steering column,
hold key lock in ACC position. Gently slide ignition switch up toward
steering wheel. This will remove slack from switch. Tighten screws. DO
NOT allow ignition switch to move from ACC detent position.
5) To adjust ignition switch on tilt steering column, hold
key lock switch in ACC position. Gently slide ignition switch down
away from steering wheel. This will remove slack from switch. Tighten
attaching screws. DO NOT allow switch to move from ACC detent
position.
6) On all models, ignition switch and headlight dimmer switch
share 2 mounting screws. One mounting screw must be remove from
ignition switch. This must be done after ignition switch has been
adjusted, and before dimmer switch has been installed. Remove one
screw, but do not remove stud/nut.
7) Slip headlight dimmer switch into actuator rod and
position over ignition switch. Install screws finger tight. Remove
dimmer switch actuator rod securing tape from steering column.
8) Adjust dimmer switch by depressing it slightly and
inserting a 3/32" drill bit into adjustment hole to prevent horizontal
switch movement. Move switch toward steering wheel to remove any lash
from switch actuator rod. Tighten dimmer and ignition switch retaining
nuts to 35 INCH lbs. (4 N.m). To complete installation, reverse
removal procedure.
