Ran a new power sire to the ignition switch, cranks every time now, also stays running, Thanks for the help

The one in the fuse block there? no, only thing new is the starter it's self. i pulled the bottom off the fuse block and could not see anything that was burnt, but i disconnected the battery and the smell eventually went away, or atleast i think it did, reconected the battery and it seemed to of came back. is there a diagram some where so i can see what prong on the ignition switch is supposed to have power to start with?

I can't get it to turn over at all this afternoon. got a ground or 2 i have to relocate or something because i can't get broke loose. also i got a aroma of burnt wire smell around the main fuse panel beside the battery.... also no power anywhere to my ignition switch none of the prongs have power to it.

Okay thanks

Makes it sound more like a power distribution problem or a ground issue. I'd pull the bulkhead connector apart and clean it. I'd really look into the cables and grounds. bulkhead connector?

battery terminal looks alright. it is tight. ill check the other end tonight. I'm not sure how old the ground from the battery is thou. Looking does nothing, you have to physically remove the ground cable and thoroghly clean both contact points, I would HIGHLY recommend getting some new battery clamps as well. There are several other grounding locations to be aware of as well. http://comancheclub.com/topic/36382-cruisers-renix-tips/ Look for "ground refresh". The more i have come to know my MJ the more i have come to relize 90% of all the problems i have had have been ground related. By look into it i meant take them off an take a wire brush or grinding wheel to the surface an connectors. the battery clamps were recently changed maybe 2-3 months back when the new red top optima was installed.

it ran fine for 2 days thou so i don't see that being the issue. not saying some connection aren't bad but not do to the roll over

Since it does crank sometimes would that eliminate the nss? Forgot to mention. can't get my turn signals or brake lights to work either. head lights work fine thou

When you have questions like this, you need a simple reference with pictures and step by step instructions.. Thats what I was referring too. More power to ya using other methods.. i agree that steps and pics help. but never had luck with haynes manuals. didn't mean to come across as a smart @$$

It was a while ago, but I'm almost positive it was one of the small red wires next to the battery, going to the starter realy okay thanks

Ill test those tonight. What terminals are supposed to have power?

The wire that goes over to the fuse block? or something else?

in N is no different than in park, what confuses me is that the fuel pump does not come on to build pressure when you turn it to the run position. only comes on when you turn the key over....

Okay, I took a Ignition switch off a 87 Jeep i have (engine locked up about 5 months back) put it on this the comanche, same issue. and It won't turn over everytime that you go to crank it over now, so i manually worked it with a screw driver and it still doesnt turn over but maybe once outta 10-15 times of turning it over, which makes me wonder if it is the NSS now...
