Ok the other day went driving in jeep.
It started just fine, and while I was doing errands, I had to shut off and restart several times at various stops.
All was well until about the third or fourth restart.
The courtesy lights came on, even when the doors were shut and they would not shut off. Not that big a deal, started a fifth time and I made last stop checking about a part.
Went back to jeep and noticed the ring around the key lock was still lit. This was a good 5-10 minutes after I had shut it off. All the courtesy lights were on, kick panels, overhead.
Turned key, radio came on, all the accessories powered up. No start. When in the crank position the radio loses power as normal, but not even a click from the starter. I even popped the hood and swapped relays around with known good ones, still nothing.
I swapped the battery to my truck and it fired right over, so it is not the battery.
What pisses me off is I just replaced this damned thing not 5-6 months ago!
So does this sound like a switch gone bad?
