Dont just want to throw parts in without diagnosing.

What happens when you wiggle your keys in the ignition?
Sorry for the late reply but what am i looking for when i wiggle my keys? Sorry if that sounds dumb but i dont know what to look for i tried turning the key off and on but still nothing.

I agree with chesty puller I have seen way too many ignition switches go bad in these dang things I've also seen all different kind of symptoms it went along with it, I'm a firm believer in big k.i.s.s philosophy. I have seen symptoms go from hard starts to no dash lights 2 transmission codes.
