    1988 YJ 4.2 Won’t Crank

    My jeep will not crank and does not even make a sound when the key is turned. I’ve tried to replace the ignition cylinder but I don’t believe that was the issue. It wouldn’t even crank with me using pliers that bypassed the cylinder. Should I be able to crank it with the cylinder out? If so...
