I have a 2005 limited Last night while driving the heater blower stopped working along with the signal lights and the reverse lights and the airbag light came on ? Every thing seemed to work except when I shut it off it wouldn't start again .. every thing powered on but no click ..nothing ?? Any one have any ideas ? |

I assume you've checked the battery and made sure its OK? They do some real quirky things when the battery goes bad |

If the battery and battery connections, including negative cable to chassis and grounding strap between engine and chassis, are good then I would suspect the actuator pin that operates the ignition switch has broken...lots of post on this problem and it really seems to be happening a lot lately on all the KJ forums!

so I checked the ignition pin and it was fine , checked the fuses under the hood again and found one burnt so I changed it out . Tried to start it and it seemed the battery was dead so I put the boost pack on it and it still wouldn't start , went to adjust the booster cables and when I turned back to the door smoke was rolling out of the window ... it was burning !!!! I immediately un hooked the cables and turned off the ignition ( stupid me) ! I don't know what caused and its now in the hands of the insurance but I will let the form know what happened when I find out . |

Well all has been fixed ! It was a short in a wire under the dash running down to the kick panel , a wire got pinched behind the metal clip !? Insurance covered it all with no deductable !!!! Going to pick it up on Monday from the collision center. |
