Jeep ran find when parked, but next morning it wouldn't turn over. Replaced starter and had same problem. While replacing the ignition switch electrical part I noticed the ignition actuator was broken, so I replayed that. Vehicle still wouldn't start. Disconnected the ignition switch and tried to crank with screwdriver and vehicle turned over. Vehicle cranked for a few seconds and like drowned itself out (cut off). So I reassembled the ignition switch, ignition switch actuator, lock cylinder with key and tried to crank and got nothing. Vehicle will not turn over with lock cylinder installed, only when disassembled and with a screwdriver in electrical ignition switch. The Jeep has been down for two weeks and is my wife's car. Frustration has sat in, Please help.

@Hmac300 Thanks. I disassembled and reassembled everything and vehicle started. I didn't have the ignition actuator lined up right from working in the dark. Of all the tools, daylight was the most important. I had to reset computer by turning key back and forth five times then driving it a little bit, but everything is good now. Frustration is gone and house is quite, THANKS.
