dmatt5656 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Okay so I'm kinda in a hurry so please bear with me. On my way into work this morning my comanche was running normal and everything was working. I shut it down to go into the store. When I came back out and started it up only my headlights dash lights ashtray light and dome lights were working. My heater, turn signals, radio and wipers suddenly weren't working anymore. Idk what the problem is. Please help winter is coming and I don't fancy freezing my boys off Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of these work properly when the key is in the ACC position? Does your horn work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 So, it sounds like the engine ran and you were able to drive it. Have you checked your fuses? BTW: do you have a manual or auto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmatt5656 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Yes it runs fine. No bad fuse. And it's a manualSent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmatt5656 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Horn is missing the spring to make it work but it used to function. I lost the spring and just haven't fixed it yet. And to be honest I hadn't thought about checking if they work on ACCSent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmatt5656 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 So everything works on ACC. I got my brake lights back. I put a new ground in the driver's side tail light. Still no heat turn signals radio or wipersSent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the feed circuit for your components listed above. If components work in ACC and don't work in RUN, suspect Ignition Switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmatt5656 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Okay thanks man I appreciate itSent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmatt5656 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 So I had to fix my loose steering column before I could dive into my ignition switch because it needs to be in acc to replace it if I'm reading the directions correctly. Well I can't turn it back to ACCbecause of the trim around the column is being pushed back by the peice that actuates back when the key is turned. Idk what it's called it's got teeth on i left side of the columnSent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZJeff Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 You are going to need to repair the looseness in your steering column. That is almost certainly PART of the electrical issue. The good news is that the older XJ/MJ's used the GM Saginaw steering column, which is pretty easy to repair (and they often need it, too, unfortunately).
