Mowermech is correct, there are no fuses to pull, just turn the key to unlock the stearing. You can leave the key in tht position without fear of draining the battery
Not so my 07. (JK) any position of the key will turn on the electrical, and the normal (on) is the only position that unlocks the steering.
I must place the key in the ON position and disconnect the battery.
Yes, as I understand it that is TRUE for 2007 and later.
That is why I specified "2006 and earlier".
That is also one reason why I would never buy a 2007 or later Jeep Wrangler for a toad.
I have also heard that sometime in 2009 Jeep quit using steering wheel locks, so there is no longer any problem about switch position.
I have also been told that the steering wheel lock can be disabled on those Jeeps so equipped. I hear it is a very simple procedure, so there is no reason to keep disconnecting the battery.
