Default 95 jeep cherokee xj only starts with key turned half way

Hey guys new to the forum and new to the jeep world so bare with me on some things but I have a 95 jeep cherokee xj with the 4.0 inline 6. I have asked around and no one can give me a straight up answer so hopefully you might have something for me the jeep will only start if the key is turned half way if I turn it all the way like you would normally start a vehicle it won't do anything. Any info is appreciated and would be helpful

Thanks in advance!

My first guess would be that your ignition switch is out of adjustment. That's where i would start.

Sounds like ignition switch. My buddy has a 95 XJ and had the same problem. Picked up an ignition swith at Autozone and swapped it out. Fixed it. Not hard to replace.
