Id be more worried about a lose wire or something right inside the dash. Take it apart and have a look.

you're probably right. take the cover off the steering column and try pushing all the connectors in all the way...
i'm not sure what year you have, but on mine there are two phillips screws. you need a pretty long thin screwdriver to get to them.. then it should just come off.

you already know what the problem is... your ignition switch (and/or wiring) is shot
