Having an issue with starting my jeep. Okay, so i've searched everywhere on cf and no dice.. First, i'll let you all know what I have eliminated. Its not the battery or the starter, I jumped the solenoid and the starter works. its not the NSS, its a five speed ba 10. Since it started last, I have recently taken apart the steering column to tighten the tilt bolts. I put everything back together properly, I believe.
When I try to start it, I get power in the run position, in the start position it seems to do the normal start up power drain onn the cluster. I have taken apart my column again to check the ignition and I cant get anything out of it.. Please help.

Okay it took me forever and a day to get back to my jeep... But the no crank is solved. The ignition switch simply came out of alignment. The switch mounting holes are eccentric, loose screws have caused my switch to move just too far away in time.
Anyone who finds this post, try simply moving the switch back as far as possible. Knowing this would have saved me money and time.
