Goofy electrical Problem needs Help
 

I get this intermitantly, I wonder if anyone can help ?

'97 TJ Sahara in otherwise great condition. Every now
and then when I turn the key the Jeep starts and the
tape deck goes into fastforward ! Pretty annoying. Only
fix is on/off, on/off until it turns over without tripping
the cassette player.Player and all wiring is original stock.
I know I could trash the player, but I'd like to fix the problem.
Is this a known issue ? I've heard '97 TJ's do have problems
with console electronics. Thoughts?

THX.,

Andrew

might be that the ignition switch is arcing between the run position and start
position...the player reads this as a fast forward signal...and does its
thing...try spraying the switch with a NON-FLAMEABLE electronic spray
cleaner...Gene 75 cj-5 (orignal owner), w/tbi & hei

Does the same happen if the AM/FM Cassette unit is powered off?

Yes. The ON/OFF for the unit has nothing to do with beginning or
ending the problem as near as I can tell. Moving the ignition switch
from Start back to Acces. does not help either. Also clutch IN or Out,
no effect. I don't really know if it's fastforward or reverse, it just
starts ripping away at full speed until the engine is shut off.
Neither can I see any link to bad weather, tape loaded or not. I have
no aftermarket
CD or Graphic Eq. Just the plain stock AM/FM Cass. Darn Annoying !
