Default Lost all accessory power....help ! lol

'89 Cherokee.. no tilt wheel, shift on floor.

Replaced key cylinder a few months back,and last week started to lose accessory power (radio,signals,wipers etc) would jiggle key and accessory power would come back on,but now 100% out.

Any ideas as to why I lost all the power ?

Thanks in advance..

Cool

Check your connections on the ignition switch, check that as you turn the key that the shaft on the ignition switch moves freely.,you may even have a worn collar that the key switch locks into,


p.s. welcome to CF

my 90 has done that ever since i replaced the column. sometimes it takes a bit to get the key to stay with the acc power on.
i got used to it. it might have something to do with the rod that runs down the top part of the column. i know i have to stick my finger in there to pull it all the way back so i can get my key out.
