The key won't turn off because in the 91 you had the manual on column ignition lock.

On the 94 you had the automatic shift interlock. The 91 isn't going to have the mechanicals needed to unlock that column...

Now, the only way to solve this issue is to go back to the 94, remove the shifter mechanism and the shift interlock cable and put it all on the 91.

OR put the right parts on the 91 column like you should have to begin with.

 

Fix it yet?

 

I haven't been home in a while so no but the reason I tried swapping them instead was cause people like here said it was easier. To get to the high beam switch I gotta pull the column apart right

 

The headlight dimmer switch is half way down the column...

If you have to replace the stalk up top then you have to pull the steering wheel.

That is the dimmer switch. Is there a reason the rod isn't actuating that switch?

 

I think it's either there's a plastic part that's broken or I didn't put it together right

 

Are you still talking about being able to get the key out?

 

No getting to the high beam switch

 

You've managed to completely confuse me.

Is the 94 column still in the 91?

 

You probably put the high beam mechanism back together wrong in the column when you did the loose steering fix. I did the exact thing and had to tear mine back down.

Its really easy to figure out if u just look at it. You know when you pull the top column peice apart and the bottom half kind of falls off without you expecting it, that is where the mechanism for the high beams is located. The little plastic slider peice needs to be on there correctly and the little metal rod needs to be placed in the right spot, its kind of a pain to get all that right and put the to column peices on at the same time, but it can be done!!

The peice im talking about is the high beam actuator, here is a pic of it,



If you have any questions pm me, ive done this on my jeep twice( because of the stupid switch) and did my buddies jeep.

 

Yeah I tore it apart and fixed it. Thanks for the details

 

I agree that is one of the most time consuming. F*$#%&* thing on the planet

 

So, you still can't get the key out of the hole, huh?

 

No the original column from the 91 is back in the 91

 

There is a locking mechanism on the top part of the column I drilled a small hole in the plastic shroud and zip tied the lock forward to keep it unlocked
