Yodels, I'm now in the northwest chilling with Sasquatch. He's quite the drinker. Downs aabout a case every 15 minutes. Told him to just buy kegs to save cash and he just grumbled something under his breath I didn't understand. Anywho, just e-mail me at [email protected] if you need to get...

Yodels. I just moved here from Colorado. Literally. Arrived this past Monday to the Everett area. I've been wanting to move here for the past 15 or so years, and now I'm here. I am looking for a stealership so I can fix the ignition switch on my 85 XJ. Where are they? Can't find them in the...

Unpacking. Just moved here from Crawlorado.

for my 85 XJ w/o tilt nor air bag. Auto floor shift. Anyone know where I can get a complete one? Thanks in advance.

thanks everyone.

That's the lock cylinder. I'm looking to remove and replace the actual switch at the base of the column. But thanks anyway.

I need to replace the ignition switch on the lower part of the steering column on my 85 XJ, non-tilt steering. The switch is jamming so it's time for a new one. I am having a hard time locating the screws so I can remove it and replace it. Any advice would be helpful.

I'm just replacing some gear on the back of the lock cylinder but can't get to it. I don't want to replace the whole steering column just this one piece. So I just need to get the cover off, or just put it together and rig a start button.

Hey. I posted this in OEM Tech but not getting any answers. I have to replace the actual ignition swith assembly in my 85 and am trying to take off the cover. I have all the bolts removed and it will come out about 3 inches but then seems to jam. Am I missing something? There's a rod going...

I don't know. I need to replace the switch. The key/lock cylinder I've done before but the gear assembly is damaged. The one that goes on the end of the cylinder is stripped. I'm taking it apart so I can replace that and also check for binding. The cover seems to be hung up on something or held...

Need to remove the covers on my 85s steering column to replace the ignition switch. Have the steering wheel, indicator cam, and top cover, but cannot remove any farther due to wiring. Do I need to remove the whole column to replace the switch? If so, what bolt do I need to remove? This is...

well?

any one?

I can get it. I have a PDF of the Jeep parts catalog. What year? You can also take the old one to a hardware store and match it up.

How do you fix/disable the parking locking mechanism on the steering column? Mine jammed this morning and the locking cylinder broke so I can't start it. I know you have to remove the steering wheel, remove the tun signal indicator cam assembly so get to the lock cylinder, but how can I...
