On the '95 it is a simple switch, dunno why they would go backwards on
the '96, but then this *is* Chrysler. Fairly cheap switch as memory
goes.

$400 is the dealer parts counter price.
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.
