I have a 4.0L 98 XJ that won't start, and it's either the sensor that tells the computer when the clutch is engaged/disengaged, or the ignition switch. When i turn the key to start (regardless of clutch engagement) nothing happens. All the electronics work fine, battery isn't dead, nothing. So what wires should I jump in the ignition switch to test if it's the ignition switch or the clutch sensor?
I've already tried jumping the terminals at the plug for the clutch sensor and nothing changed. Also the "feel" of turning the key hasn't changed at all, my guess would be if the ignition cylinder had become misaligned enough to where I just couldn't turn the key far enough to start it, it would feel different, correct?
