Okay I've got a 90 yj with a 4.2 in it bee. Having problems with it but slowly trying to fix it now I've hit a dead end. While driving down the road the other day it just died. I don't now why but it just did. Now that I've got it back home. Head lights come on. But when I turn the key nothing. No radio not starter just nothing like I wasn't even turning the key. Not even the buzzer goes off when I turn the key. So I'm lose on where to start.
Dead jeep

- Start date
Battery is fully charged light come on and everything it like there's no power to the ignition switch
I would check the following If you have not already done this
Dirty connection can cause resistance in a circuit and not let enough current though to make the start turn.
Are the battery post clean and shinny.
Are the battery cables any good. Insolation peeled back from the ends. Damaged or cracked cable insulation. This how corrosion gets inside the cable and hinders the flow of electricity.
Do the battery cables have crimped or clamped on cable ends on them. Are they corroded or loose?
Are both end of the battery cables clean and shinny. This includes where the other ends of the battery cables connect to. Are these connection points clean and shinny. Starter connection point is the positive aide of the battery and the negative side connects to the engine block on my jeep.
Do these things to eliminate them from being part of the problem.

Thanks I did do all this and found the problem. There was no constant power to the switch traced it back and saw that the fusible link was fried. Rewired it and now I have power to the switch. And can start it now. Do appreciate the help I do have a few other issues I can figure out with the motor it self but I'm search for some answers on the form.
No worry's glad you got I running.
I had situation where my ignition lock would not turn far enough to start the motor. And when it did you could not shut the motor off. Turned out to the ignition switch had failed internally and would not allow the key to turn far enough to start it and not fare enough in the off position to turn the motor off.
