OK, so when I turn off my jeep and remove the key I still have power going to fan and radio hense draining my battery. Also seems to be cranking longer before it starts. Ignition switch or key switch? Both? Help?

 

Presumably, the fan and radio being on is because when you're turning it off youre turning it back one click more and its in the ACC position. If your battery keeps draining because of this it can cause your battery to go bad and provide longer cranking times. If you're absolutely sure that the key is in the off position and the radio still doesn't turn off then your switch could need adjusting or it could be bad

 

The key is in the locked position and key is removed, engine is shut off but the rest is still on. How do you adjust these?

 

The "switch" on top of the column is adjustable.

Do you have tilt wheel and is it loose and floppy?

 

Yes to tilt wheel and no it is not sloppy. I think its the key switch. I will replace that and maybe even the ignition switch.

 

I have the same problems but opposite when my XJ is running and key in start position I have no assecories such as wipers, turn signal, stereo and blower motor doesnt work already replaced to cylinder lock and was gonna replace the switch today does any have info on replacing the switch

 

Good idea. Be prepared to see this on the plug that holds the brown wire....

 

Just pulled my ignition switch last night and my brown wire looks like that. What's the best fix?

 

New switch.

Clean up that terminal on the brown wire, squeeze it so it grabs the switch more tightly.

 

Do I need to drop the column in order to get to the ignition switch?

 

It's easier.

 

Thanks

 

Cleaned up the connection, installed a new ignition switch, and a new turn signal switch, and new lock cylinder and it works a lot better than before. You can feel the key spring backwards after the jeep starts, before I had to turn the key back myself.
Thanks for the help

 

Great. Thanks for posting up your success.
