neutral safety switch

[namylg]

My Jeep had problems starting in park so I would start it in neutral. Then the problem got worse and now it will only start when the Jeep is cold. If I drive it 1/2 hour or so it won't start again unless I let it cool down for a couple of hours.

I have taken apart the neutral safety switch and cleaned it. I have also replaced it with one from a junkyard and that still did not correct the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I am having the same problem with my 89 Jeep Cherokee. If you find out what the problem is please let me know. Thank you

check the ignition switch on the steering colume under the dash. I had to replace mine twice already in 70,000 miles.

I had the same thing with mine left me like It can be a real pain to replace, so set aside some time for the job.

I have changed the ignition switch in my 89 cherokee. If I start it when it is cold it will start right up, but after I drive it for a half hour or so and turn it off it will not start back up. When I turn the key it does nothing no clicking or noises of any kind. After it sits for a little while it will start right up. Any more suggestions? Thanks in advance

I took my nss off the jeep. Took it apart and cleaned it and greased it, seems to have fixed the problem.
