Burnt fingers

[maddzz1]

Whenever its really hot out, and I turn the key on the MJ, my fingers start to get burned before it turns over. In the summer I have to put something over the tabs around the key before I turn it. Does this happen to anyone else?

[mvusse]

Nope.

:dunno: guess that means you should tint your windows :rotf:

Never on my Chrysler Jeeps, but I've had that happen to me on all my Renix ones with the GM key.

 

Maybe it's the chrome finish.. maybe it's the long start time.. maybe it's both. :dunno:

The windows from the XJ with the factory tint will be going in eventually. Then maybe Ill park it under a tree.

 

Yeah Correy, its a renix. Doesnt happen on the 94 XJ

:dunno: renix or not they both have the same thing. turning the start key pushes a rod to activate the swich futher down on the stearing colum. it would be melting wires befor it burnt your fingers. down here were it realy gets hot in the summer every one has a cheap cardboard sunblock we put in the window to tey to keep the inside of the car below 200*f

He's referring to the ambient temp and sunlight making the switch hot, not wires shorting out.

this is a new one to me, I know all the black pieces inside get nice and toast warm in even 70* weather weve been having lately.
