Default wiring schematic no power with key on

89 XJ w/o factory nitrous...It doesnt have a key or tumbler. It has a power switch under the dash and push button start. My question is after mom borrowed XJ suddenly there is no power at the switch for ignition. I need a wiring diagram so I know whats what.

I got wires disconnected, random wires hanging, its a mess... and i didnt wire any of this...Its all from previous owner he said the tumbler went bad...

I got truck running. I ran a jumper wire from my power switch (igniton on and off) and buzzer came on everything came to life and i pressed the push button start and it fired right up...So im guessing there's an ignition fuse bad somewhere I really dont know where to even look I cant really make sense of anything and I dont know what color wires feed what...I'm about to just run a jumper wire from kill switch to battery and see if that fixes my problems

yes cherokee GT's Cananda (renix XJ's in the US) nitrous was a factory option up until 91 it was no longer available as the HO computers were too hard to tune.

no more threadjacking. thanks.

hahahahahaha. I didn't know I could have found factory nitrous either. Maybe that's why the tumbler went bad for the previous owner, no nos to give it the extra umph.
