So your ignition switch is bad? Do you have a new one to replace it? I'm not to far from ya

If you've been using a screwdriver to start it , you may have damaged the lock cylinder to a point where it is no longer engaging the rod that actuates the ignition switch :o . Just a thought. I've not been inside of the column on my YJ but it looks similar to a GM type. There usually is some type of spring tensioned plate behind the turn signal switch assembly that will need to be compressed to remove a retaining ring on the sterring shaft. Once that is out I think the lock cylinder is right behind it and held in with a single torx head bolt.
