Hey guys, my XJ has a no crank condition and i have traced it back to a bad P/N safety switch. I dont want to spend $200 on a new one when all it does is complete the starter circuit in P/N so you cant start it in gear. I was thinking of mounting a toggle switch w/ a 30A fuse in my glove box and wiring it to that. i have looked and cannot find a write up on it. Wondering if any one has any suggestions or has done this on theirs. I am a tech at a chevy dealership, so i am not mechanically incompetent. Thanks for your input!
