1993 Jeep Cherokee Electrical system Problems

“The ignition will not turn back. It is locked in place. I have to pull the wire off the distributor & the battery cable to kill it. This happens when my brake light on the instrument panel comes on. Also, the heater, ws wipers & radio will not come on. My brake pedal stays down constantly, I have to physically pull up on it each & every time (the law has stopped me for this). My brakes make a horrible grinding sound at times. I have found similar complaints with all linking ABS system failure.”

“Ignition does not always turn over. It sometimes takes 15 minutes of trying to turn the key. I sometimes have to take the vehicle out of park and put it back into park to get it to start. It is not the battery. It seems be related to the vehicle being in park or neutral and the key turning over. This has been occurring over the past 4 months.”

“Ignition switch failed while trying to start..hard to turn, then quit altogether, had to have Jeep towed to repair facility. Had to have switch and coil replaced . The coil was located in a bad place on motor.”

“The floor was so rusted, which was not visible until th fire broke out. I had replaced the converter and muffler from midas, and on the way back the car caught on fire. After the vehicle was totalled, there seemed to be rusted floor with holes.. I am just complaining so that others could be aware of this. Especially when the vehicle is less than ten years old.”

“My Jeep's doors are falling off in the front at the hinges. The welds that hold the hinges to the frame are cracking. As for the suspension system it sometimes clunks when I go over a bump or turn a corner. I have had it looked at but they can not find what is wrong with it. The starting problem is not all the time most of the time it starts right up, but sometimes it won't start. I try it two or three times and then it starts. I have had the starter replaced and it still does it.”
