Sorry, you mean there are parts inside the switch that are melted right now or that's why you replaced it before?
Dielectric grease should never be used on contacts that conduct electricity. It's actually an insulator, and is intended for mating surfaces around connections to keep water out (such as shrouds and boots). If you want something to prevent corrosion on the pins themselves try one of these: http://www.k1ttt.net/technote/antiox.html You can find NOALOX and OX-GARD at places like Home Depot and Lowes.
If you do have burnt connections you should replace all of that junk... and don't smear insulative grease everywhere

Just got done putting a 4.5" RC lift on my jeep, adjusted the LCA and UCA to the RC specs and did the same to the adj. Trac bar.....went to get an alignment done and they told me it was to far out to align, told me that I would probably have to replace my tie rod also...anyone ever ran into something like this before? I also put on 32" tires if that makes a difference...Thanks in advance

Should be an empty slot available. Just put the wire in the fuse slot with the fuse so the fuse holds it in. Not sure if a CB needs its own dedicated ground or hot wire for some reason, but you could always then just run the ground to the stock ground under the drivers side kick panel.

Or act like they know what they're doing when they dont, and **** **** up. Thats how i got a weird wore tire when i bought them.
My 96 Cherokee sport wont start, I recently swapped out the distributor and changed the cps, I also found a blown fuse for the coil, but even after all that it still won't start, there is no power to the coil and there is two male plugs that don't seem to have a fit anywhere in the engine bay, I have done everything I can think of to get it running again but nothing has seemed to work, anyone have any ideas?
