ignition problems help!!!!!!
Ok so recently picked up a 1990 xj and for some reason previous owner was using screw driver to start and I noticed that even when jeep wasn't running that the radio would turn on turn signals worked and heater would still blow and rear wiper still worked so I replaced the ignition lock cylinder and for some reason the key would not turn all the way off I checked by the linkage from the cylinder and there was a little white plastic ball stopping the key from turning all the way off I messed around with it and got it to go up and the key will now turn all the way off but everything still stays on any ideas guys i'm at a loss please help me out

You need to adjust the ignition switch, it's mounted on the lower part of the steering column.

Loosen the two mounting bolts and slide it up or down the column as needed to get all your ignition switch positions.
