Well my key was getting harder and harder to turn and start my 94 heep then yesterday it would only start the jeep but wouldn't put on any accessories so I trouble shot it to the ign switch. I replaced it today for $15 and wanted to share what it looked like...Tj

 

I would have to say it was about time for that to be replaced.

 

Yea that's what I figured...Tj

 

wonder what made it cause such a resistance there? Maybe just a bad connection?

 

sry I'm just one of those people that like to find out 'why' the part failed. lol

 

Well maybe you can find out why the plug behind my climate control box caught on fire. Thats why JEEP stands for just expect electrical problems. I do love them though even with all those evil little gremlins.

 

Yea me too...I had some trouble turning the key for a few months then it just got REAL hard to turn and I "Forced" it a few times so I figured it got caught in between start and off and shorted. I will keep an eye on it to see if its happening again...Tj

 

As an electronics technician I have come to learn that grounds have a LOT to do with circuits burning up...Tj

 

yup just about any bad connection will get very hot and fry

 

Damn Joe...

I had a headlight switch look like that once.

 

I drove this heep for a year and a half and almost had NO problems then this week the header Panel cracked, the ignition switch went and yesterday the radiator cap went bad now I have to try and rebuild my spare rear b/c the one in there now is going....WTF????? O well just got to fix everything and hope for the best...Joe
