QuestionQUESTION: Kevin, I submitted an initial question regarding what appears to be an electrical problem...seconds after starting the engine, the air-bag warning light appears, and the A/C fan does not operate, nor does the back-up lights. You asked for clarification as to which warning light, and your subsequent reply came thru with only a "Thank you", but no other information as to what you think the problem might be. Can you still help?

QUESTION: What is an "ign switch"? Is it a part I can obtain, and replace myself?. As I mentioned, the Jeep is now located on a small island in the Caribbean, and the expertise of people who work on cars is limited to say the best. Can you provide instructions as to how to replace the ign switch. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
