Is there a reset button anywhere on a Jeep that you have to push if the vehicle took a hit or a very hard bump?

A fuel pump/spark cutoff switch?

My Expedition has one. I have seen them on other cars. Maybe a Jeep, too?

Grey key or black key???

1998 could have SKIM (Sentry Key Immobiliser)... MOPAR anti-theft. It's a pretty damn effective system that has to communicate on the databus with the PCM and compares the key code to the programmed codes and VIN in the PCM.

Is there a light in the cluster that looks like a key with a slash though it???
