1992 jeep cherokee starter will not turn off

I have a 1992 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 Liter. When I turn the ignition switch off, my jeep will continue running! The starter will not disengage. I'm not sure whether it is the ignition switch, starter, or cylinoid that is bad. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong? I am at my wits end with this problem, Gabe

under the vehicle...mounted close to the front of the fuel tank...be sure to release the fuel pressure before you disconnect any line..you can do that by removing the fuel pump relay and cranking the engine

SOURCE: 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee : Replaced Water Pump and Drive Belt now Jeep won't start?

When you replaced the Water Pump, did you replace the Timing Belt? Any time you replace a Water Pump you have to replace the timing belt because it stretches out. If you did not then most likely your Engine is out of time and there for will not start, but it will turn over. hope this helps, good luck.

If you have the same pulley arrangement that most 4.0 engines have that pulley is an idler not a tensioner. Your power steering pump has a pivot bolt, and a slide under the pump. You adjust belt tension using the pump.

SOURCE: 1994 Grand Cherokee Jeep wont start

It is likely one of your battery cables loose. Same thing just happened to me today. What you need to do is first lock the doors, and close them. Then you need to disconnect, and reconnect the battery cable, then if the security lights still blink you must use your key to unlock the door, then it should stop blinking, and start just fine.

94 jeep cherokee will not turn over

Bad neutral safety switch, starter relay, starter fuse or bad ignition switch. You will have to check each of those things to find what's keeping the current from reaching the starter, when you try cranking.

How do I know if my ignition switch is bad on my 1995 jeep grand cherokee lerado 5.2 liter

The ignition switch does not usually go bad on Grand Cherokees but the ignition key cylinder does and it usually just stop turning, stuck in place. Key cylinder can be removed by taking the steering wheel off to access the little clip that's holding the key cylinder in place, inside the steering column.
