GENERAL INFORMATION
The ignition switch is mounted (under the instru-
ment panel) on the lower section of the steering col-
umn. The headlamp dimmer switch is mounted
beside the ignition switch (Fig. 1). Both of these
switches (ignition and dimmer) share the same
mounting screws.
The switch is connected to the ignition key lock as-
sembly by a remote actuator rod. This remote actua-
tor rod fits into an access hole on the bottom of the
ignition switch (Fig. 2).
IGNITION SWITCH REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable at the
battery.
(2) XJ models: Remove the lower instrument panel
trim assembly. YJ models: Remove the windshield
wiper intermittent control module and its bracket (if
equipped).
(3) Place the ignition key lock in ACCESSORY po-
sition.
(4) Remove the two headlamp dimmer switch at-
taching nuts. Lift the switch from steering column
while disengaging actuator rod.Before removing dimmer switch, tape the two
remote control actuator rods (ignition switch
and dimmer) to the steering column. This will
prevent accidental disengagement from the up-
per part of the steering column.
(5) Remove the ignition switch-to-steering column
attaching screws.
(6) Disengage the ignition switch from the remote
actuator rod by lifting straight up. Remove switch
from steering column.
(7) Remove wiring from switch as follows:
Two electrical connectors are used to connect all
wiring to the ignition switch. One of the connectors
is installed (interlocked) over the top of the other
connector. Remove wiring from switch by disconnect-
ing the (black) harness connector first and then the
other connector. Remove the switch from the vehicle.
IGNITION SWITCH TESTING
To test the ignition switch circuity and continuity,
proceed as follows. Place the slide bar (on the igni-
tion switch) (Fig. 2) into the detent position to be
tested. An ohmmeter or continuity light may be used
to check switch continuity. Refer to the Ignition

ACTUATOR MOTOR STALL TEST
To test the actuator motor, connect an ammeter in
series with the motor and operate the door switch.
Replace the actuator motor if current draw exceeds 8
amps at room temperature or if the actuator does not
complete its travel in less than one second. Refer to
Solenoid and Latch Assembly Replacement procedures.
SWITCH REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove the interior door latch release assem-
bly and control panel retaining screws (Fig. 2).
(2) Disconnect the control linkage and the wire
harness connector.
(3) Remove the latch release and control panel as-
sembly.
(4) The switch is retained to the panel with clips
(Fig. 3). Push in on the retainer part of the clip and
pry the clips.
(5) To install switch, position switch and press in
retainer clips until they snap into position.
SOLENOID AND LATCH ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove interior door latch release assembly
and control panel retaining screws (Fig. 2).
(2) Disconnect control linkage and wire harness
connector.
(3) Remove latch release and control panel assem-
bly.
(4) Remove armrest lower retaining screws.
(5) Swing armrest downward to a vertical position.
This is necessary to disconnect armrest from upper
retainer clip (Fig. 4).
(6) Pull armrest straight out from trim panel.
(7) Remove trim panel with a wide flat blade tool
(Fig. 5).
To aid in removal of trim panel, start at bot-
tom of panel.
(8) Remove plastic water dam sheet.
(9) Remove latch retaining screws (Fig. 6).(10) Grind out or drill out the lock solenoid rivets
and remove solenoid with latch assembly and remote
control rods (Fig. 7).
(11) Place lock solenoid, latch and remote control
rods in door.
(12) Attach lock solenoid to door panel with pop
rivets or nuts and screws.
(13) Attach latch. Tighten screws to 9 Nzm(7ft.
lbs.) torque.

GENERAL INFORMATION
STEERING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Jeep vehicles can have either a manual or power
steering system (Fig. 1). A recirculating-ball type
steering gear is used for both systems.
Power steering systems use;
²Steering gear
²Pressure and return fluid hoses and fittings
²Belt driven steering pump
²Integral or remote body mounted pump reservoir
POWER STEERING GEAR
The steering gear is mounted on the left frame rail.
The gear is joined to the intermediate shaft by a uni-
versal joint coupling. The coupling helps isolate noise
and road shock from the interior.
The major internal components of the gear are the:
²Rotary valve assembly
²Steering worm shaft
²Rack piston assembly
²Pitman shaft
The movement of these parts, while turning or
parking, is aided by hydraulic pressure and flow sup-plied by the pump. Manual steering is always avail-
able at times when the engine is not running or in
the event of pump or belt failure. Steering effort is
higher under such conditions.
The steering stub shaft, rotary valve, worm shaft,
and rack piston assembly are all in line. The oil pas-
sages are internal within the gear housing except for
pressure and return hoses between the gear and
pump.
The power steering gear has a recirculating ball
system. This acts as a rolling thread between the
worm shaft and rack piston. The worm shaft is sup-
ported by a thrust bearing at the lower end and a
bearing assembly at the upper end. When the worm
shaft is turned right, the rack piston moves up in
gear. Turning the worm shaft left moves the rack
piston down in gear. The rack piston teeth mesh with
the sector, which is part of the pitman shaft. Turning
the worm shaft turns the pitman shaft, which turns
the wheels through the steering linkage.
The control valve in the steering gear directs the
power steering fluid to either side of the rack piston.
The rack piston is assisted by hydraulic pressure. If
the steering system loses hydraulic pressure, the ve-
hicle can be controlled manually, but with higher
steering effort.
An identification code located on the side cover des-
ignates the gear ratio (Fig. 2).
²Code BH designates 14:1 ratio used in XJ vehicles
²Code BF designates 13-16:1 ratio used in YJ vehi-
cles
A recirculating-ball steering gear is used with the
power (assisted) steering system (Fig. 1). The power
steering gear can be adjusted and internally serviced.
POWER STEERING PUMP
Hydraulic pressure is provided for operation of the
power steering gear by a belt driven power steering
