The price for the neutral safety switch varies wildly, depending on the transmission and model. http://www.jeep4x4center.com/cheroke...ety-switch.htm 1987-1996 XJ w/AW4-4 transmission $162.99 1984-86 XJ w/A904 transmission $11.99 http://www.autozone.com/addVehicleId...leSelected.htm Autozone has the XJ switch for $183.99 My error was in assuming that the GC shared that part with the XJ. -- "We began to realize, as we plowed on with the destruction of New Jersey, that the extent of our American lunatic fringe had been underestimated."
