1995 jeep grand cherokee

how do i test the ignition switch? the jeep will start if i jump the
solenoid, but doesnt make a sound when i turn the key. Except for the
regular warning lights and buzzer. starter tested good at 2 diff parts
stores 2 diff times.

 

Automatic? Try jiggling the gear selector in park and neutral while holding
the key to "start". Could be the neutral/safety switch or a loose wire.

actually its a stick. but i think i bypassed "the clutch interlock
switch" by running switch into cab and that worked maybe two times.
Now its hit and miss. i get 13v at the starter. My wife says its
haunted, i say its a woman. thanx for your answer
