i found on some cars there is a spot in the center consel by the shifter you can take out this plug if it has one and put like a screwdriver in there to over ride the nss if it get stuck... easy temporary fix

 

NSS what is this?

 

neutral saftey switch btw i put up some pics on your thread to show you the locking pin

 

I can still shift but no start
it can be bypassed at the plug under the hood
passenger side of the motor by the fire wall black plug wires are labeled on the plug
jump B and C together to bypass

 

ha i did not know that .. usefull info

 

so it was your sensor that tells if it is in park?

 

yes most cars have them
it keeps your car from starting unless its in park or neutral
basically cuts current to the starter circuit

 

oh i see.. i drive a stick

 

then yours is probably connected to the clutch

 

no i can start it in first or reverse or any gear .. it just goes forward while i turn the key.. unless you hold the clutch in it moves with the starter if its in gear

 

My son scored an 89 XJ Laredo for a parts Jeep. I snagged a new horn because mine was toast. I snagged the factory driving lights.and I snagged the front driveshaft to use in the rear of mine after I save up the cash to get a Performance Off Road SYE.

Changed the front brakes! Harder than I thought it would be...

 

1. Swapped a gauge cluster with a tach and got all of the gauges working well (Thanks TrekkerJmm).

2. Changed the fuel filter.

3. Painted my wheels. I'm heading up to the shop later tonight to put them on the XJ, but they turned out really well. I did the following:

• I used a paint/bondo/rust remover wheel and a coarse wire brush on a corded drill to remove the rust on my wheels (it was really bad) and only needed to use sand paper for a bit of the detail work, but really next to nothing.
• I then taped up the spots I didn't want painted.
• Primed with "Rustoleum Rust Converter Primer"
• I let that sure up and then I shot the wheels with "Rustoleum Hammered paint". I really like this paint because the texture was very forgiving of minor imperfections since I had to take a lot of the rust off. I highly recommed this paint for someone who has heavily rusted rims like I did.

I'll post better pictures when I get the wheels mounted, but if the photos don't illustrate it perfectly, be warned that the black is more of a charcoal color (I actually prefer this, but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting). I also have the older hubcaps and I'm not sure how well I like them on the wheels now, but it is better than not having them.

Check out the photos to see the stuff I used and some of the 'action' shots.

those wheels look GOOD! I'm gonna do that to mine. I'd love to see them installed first!
