Ignition switch?

[Tony Hoffman]

And on that note, check the brand and place of manufacture when you
buy parts for these cars. You can quite often put a new part in that's
worse than the original. BTDT several times. That's one of the reasons
I like AutohausAZ, they list the brand with the part.

As for the problem, check for power coming from the switch that goes
to the starter. You can check it at the switch, or out by the starter.
This would confirm wether it's the starter or the switch. Certainly
sounds like the typical switch failure to me, though.
