On the IGN SW side of the harness measure for voltage at C103_E, KEY ON (IGN SW connectors connected). Problem with C103 is C105 looks the same (6_pin). C103 will have YELLOW wire in cavity E. Yes, C267 and c268 were connected. C103_E (yellow wire) has 0v with key on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Mechanical question (Key Cylinder to IGN SW). With everything connected back up, back to normal, does engine CRANK over when key is in the START position? If yes, then OPEN circuit between C103_E and C267_I1 (YELLOW wire).

BoneheadJeeper Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 The key literally does nothing at all. No fuel pump, no radio power, not a single thing works, no cranking of any kind, like its supposed to when you turn the key. It was driving, then everything just shut down. Its as if you went to start a car without a battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know DIY for IGN SW adjustment is, I can't seem to find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Probably not the correct way but I have the key out, make sure the switch is in the off position. Install switch then run thru the function, start, run and acc, adjusting if needed. Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Also possible bad new switch. Just because it's new doesn't mean it is good. Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Just for grins, do either the interior lights or the headlights work, long shot but I'm wondering if the bulkhead is loose. Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231. My jeep doesn't have the interior lights in it. That way when i bought it. But I do have head and tail lights, I can check dome lights for voltage when I get off work. Update: Dome lights have power inside the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneheadJeeper Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Update: still no progress. I went back to the start of the post and triple checked everything suggested, still not getting any power to the ignition. I was online watching a few videos of a guy who went through and ohm'd his starter relay and checked for voltage, I wasn't getting the same reading he was. The 2 green wires going to it that have the plastic clips, have zero voltage. I'm also having a hard time finding info about this renix system for these 2.5 4cyls automatics. Everything I'm finding is for the 4.0. Another thing I rechecked was the fuse panel inside the cab, everything my key should be turning on, radio, etc has no power. Anymore ideas on what to check? Ive seen some people say its the nss and a few others say its not. Does anybody know a way to jump it over so i can atleast check to see if it's an issue?

jdog Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Pictures of said green wires, forgive me as I should have asked for this earlier but what year. Once I get back to the wiring diagrams I'll tell you which wire to disconnect and how to bypass the nss. Until then can I have you do one other thing and back probe the wires at the ignition switch with it on I'm looking for voltage. Can you give me all the wires readings.

Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231. I don't have a picture, but on the starter relay its the middle and bottom left. I can go to the video and find them but I'm at work rn so can't get a pic. But its an 87 sport truck base model. Swb. 4x4. Honestly I'm not sure what you mean when you say back probe. And what wires should i do that with.

jdog Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 No worries and back probing is going from the back of the connector into the plug. So where the wires are coming into the plug. Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Middle wire goes to the starter, other one I believe is the signal wire from the column that tells it to start, neither should have voltage until the key is in the start position Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231.

Yes, I sat my volt meter up on hood and turned key to see if there was a change in the voltage. The guy i watched online, his meter would hold the max voltage shown until cleared so i had to watch mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have 12v at the red wire at the ign switch? If not, you need to trace that wire back to the fused link, find the break, fix it. And I'm not convinced your fused links are good. This will require you to literally, physically, trace that wire. Not picking and probing and testing here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed the switch and done this without it mounted, not sure if it effects anything or not. But with key off, I'm getting 12v at red nothing else...with key on I'm not getting anything at red or any other wires. *When i say with key on/off, I'm moving the piece in the switch myself* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
