I have no power, in my 90 xj, to my stereo the wipers the heater the signals or any of the switches in the dash. I have checked the fuses and they are all looking good. I still have power to the dome lights the cluster and all the lights in the dash. I also have power to the windows. I tried to check for power in the fuse box and looks like the stuff that isnt working doesn't have power at the box.

 

some things in the fuse box will not get power unless the key is on ,possible cause coould be the ignition switch on the coloum going bad

Thank you I will try that.

 

the electric one right,not the key switch

 

Well now i'm confused.

 

you have a ignition switch on the coloum that takes the key,when you turn the key theres a rod that goes down the coloum and moves the electric ignition switch which distributes power in the xj

 

looks close to this its on the coloum above your shins ,this could be were the problem exists .

 

OK I really appreciate all the help.

 

Ok it was the switch took about 30 minutes to change and all is well. The old one was melted. Thank you again.

 

 

Are all XJ's configured this way or just the early model years?
