The ignition switch does not usually go bad on Grand Cherokees but the ignition key cylinder does and it usually just stop turning, stuck in place. Key cylinder can be removed by taking the steering wheel off to access the little clip that's holding the key cylinder in place, inside the steering column.
I would change it, it is very difficult to weld a manifold, i know from experience. i made more of a mess than it was worth. i would take care of it soon if the fumes are coming in, carbon dioxide is very dangerous.
I hope this helps. please help me by leaving feedbck, thank you.
switch ignition on
press and release button[right bottom of display]
press and hold button[right top of display] for at least 2 seconds
switch ignition of
the 1st thing u do is have the system tested for trouble codes that will explain this no start, most common cause is ignition loss of spark, but check the codes.
Try resetting the asd "auto shut down fuse had a similar problem the jeep would crank but did not get spark or gas also check your fuel pump? and the asd relay may be bad it will prevent the jeep from getting no spark and will not fire some jeeps have security problems
What you are looking for is something that is turning off power. check ignition switch and connections at the computer (have you done any testing before changing parts?)
