How screwed am I on getting the junction box and incoming harness removed and replaced. I'm sure it ain't difficult, but I imagine it will be tedious.

1990 Cherokee ignition switch wiring
Does anybody have a diagram for the ignition switch wiring on a 1990 Cherokee? I recently replaced the switch because one of the wires shorted out and I believe the the wire is ruined and is the cause for my jeep starting and then dying when the key is relased from the start position to the "run" position. Any help with what each wire does and which colors correspond to them would be a huge help. Also any other sugestions to what may be the reason for why the jeep starts and then dies right away would be greatly appriciated. Thank you.

I'm finally getting around to a VERY intermittent problem that I've had, but I'm lost. Sometimes when I turn my key, all I get is my cluster/gauges/radio to come on. No cranking at all. After a random amount of attempts, it'll start no problem. I've ruled out the NSS, but this happens unpredictably so I am lost. What should I look at first?
