Sounds like a key issue. Maybe change the chip in the key and see if that might work.

If the ign. key has a black pellet resistor in it, then the ign lock cylinder is probably bad. There are two wires on them that break off and cannot be repaired. You can bypass the system if you want.

Glad to help. It is the lock cylinder not the ign. switch. They are two seperate parts. It will matter when you go to get it fixed. Just trying to save you some time and money.
