Hello everyone,
First post here, new to the classic jeep world and I am getting my back education on older car systems!
I picked up a 1993 4.0 5-speed YJ for super cheap, but it needed a lot of work, so I thought, "what the hell, sounds like a fun project..." Ran and drove like a dream, but needed a lot of body work amongst other things.
Anyway, I've done quite a bit of work on it and it was coming along super well, until I replaced the switches in the steering column. That went fine, but once I put everything together it just cranked (quite strong) but no start.
I'm no expert on these older systems but know my basics. Before I embark on a whole debug tree with the ignition system, is there anything in the steering column area on the 5-speed that would act as an interlock on the ignition system? From what I can see there is nothing. And, while I know it is possible, I find it hard to believe that something just suddenly took a crap exactly coincident with the work on the steering column.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
