I have a 91 xj. I've replaced the ignition switch and key cylinder. I just can't figure out what is wrong with this thing. I've got my whole steering column apart. Help me out if you can.

...and since no one asked...
What was the original problem?? You know...sound, smell, what, why, how, when??
Do you have a multimeter?? Did you get a code??

Tilt steering or straight?
Here are a couple of write ups for the tilt that may be helpful, they both show a detail about the rod and rack assembly. Both write ups are for dealing with tilt steering wheel wobble, but the section about the key cylinder, rack, rod and switch may be helpful.

This is for a GM column, but basically the same as the non airbag Jeep column.
