the ignition switch is not hard.
the early XJ jeep by AMC (of Rambler fame)

1993 xj book is free, and not rare like 88s
i call it behind the 8 ball.

on XJ 93

The problem could be a bad ignition switch. I would start by checking ALL the fuses - both under the dash and under the hood. The under hood fuse panel should also have a fuel pump relay. You may want to replace that to see if it helps.

I use and I'd recommend you register for free at www.autozone.com Once registered you'll have access to repair and shop manuals for virtually any car or truck. All the data and diagrams you need now or may need in the future will be a couple of mouse clicks away.

It's the dimmer switch....follow below:

Without Air Bag The ignition switch is located on the lower part of the steering column.

1. Place the ignition in the LOCK position
   

Ignition/dimmer switch assembly

1. Remove any components necessary to access the switch.
   
2. Remove the two switch mounting screws.
   
3. Disconnect the switch from the rod.
   
4. Disconnect the wiring and remove the switch.
   

To install:



Ignition switch rod positioning

1. On non-tilt columns:
   
   1. Move the ignition switch slider to the OFF unlocked position (move the slider all the way down, then back two clicks). The remote rod hole in the ignition switch slider should now be centered.
      
   2. Insert the remote rod in the ignition switch slider hole and install the ignition switch on the steering column. Tighten the attaching screws to 35 inch lbs. (4 Nm).
      
2. On tilt columns:
   
   1. Insert the ignition key in the lock cylinder and turn the cylinder to the OFF unlocked position.
      
   2. Move the ignition switch downward to eliminate any slack and tighten the attaching screws to 35 inch lbs. (4 Nm).
      
3. Install any components removed for switch access.
   

check the connections between the starter, battery and ignition. if all are fine replace the ignition switch

replace key switch

Disconnect negative battery cable, remove upper and lower covers (three screws); remove the ignition switch mounting screws.

Pull switch away from the column and remove the connectos from the ignition switch.

Also I suggest check the 93ZJ-Secc-8D-Ignition-Systems for more details and graphics.

I hope helps with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

you need to remove steering wheel and you will see how its done once you get inside

Your ignition switch is probably bad. Pull one from the junkyard to save money and you will be up in no time.
