Comangi Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hey guys, so I had an issue where my key tumbler/cylinder was turning freely, no start, so I got a replacement one. I used this guide, it's AWESOME, took me 30 mins, no problem. http://comancheclub.com/topic/18991-ignition-lock-removal/ so when I pulled the key lock out, if you look at the pic, the bowtie shaped hole at the bottom had a bunch of broken-off plastic in it. Putting the new key lock in did not work (I knew this, as it wasn't clipping into anything) The part it's supposed to clip into is circular, with indents in it. I just reached a screwdriver in there, rotating it clockwise starter her right up! (The above thread was how to steal an MJ in 30 minutes!!) so my question: What's the part called that it attaches to? Does anyone know how the heck to get to it? Any info would be awesome, thanks!

Comangi Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 More pics. Original cylinder with piece broken off in it. Piece The part I'm looking at that has the piece broken off of it. It broke off of the center of the chewed up looking part. This pic is the part number I need, i also need to figure out how to get to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comangi Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Going to go ahead and tear it all down this weekend. (or next week, snow coming) and get the part out to figure out what it is. was hoping I could have the new one waiting, but it's cool if it sits dead for a few days.... i guess... ha.

Comangi Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 So i tore the column down. In the process, the shroud broke. All for some tiny part called a "sector"? http://www.ebay.com/itm/311269840329?item=311269840329&viewitem=&vxp=mtr I'm completely, and utterly fed up and I've owned the jeep for a week. I want to set it on fire. Now I can't find a replacement shroud, only way to get it fixed looks to be a complete replacement column. Great.

ScottJeep Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Any good column repair guy worth his salt can fix these...old GM stuff. Ask a local lock-smith or body -shop for a recommendation. I ended up replacing the entire column ( got one off eBay ) for the last MJ. The PO was attempting to try out for the new McGuyver series.... fours switches and two rockers controlled everything except the horn and the key switch. And it was a 5-speed...so it sorta sealed the deal that nobody else in my family could drive it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
