Engine: 4.0L striaght 6
89' 5 speed 4.0. Stock with a lift and body damage.
When the jeep was purchased it was missing a steering column, but had a newer year column in it that was not hooked up, the jeep did not run. I was told that the jeep ran with the original column but someone tried to steal it and broke the original, that's why it had a newer column. I have replaced the new column with a junkyard part out of a 89 so it is back to stock year. Now with the new column installed I can not get it to work. It will not crank, the wipers don't work. Nothing works. headlights and other electrical works. Where should I start my troubleshooting on the column?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
