If u dnt wanna do all the electrical testing.
Change out ignition switch $25 @ autozone or kragen ussually in stock.
Under the steering column their is another switch "forgot name" $40~55 also ussually in stock at autozone or kragen.

I would buy both then replace one before u install the other so u can return one of them if its right the first time.

Happened to me aswell so im almost positive thats what it is.

Well the problem is wiring I would check and see if I'm getting cotinuity in the switch wire, check from the ignition side to the solenoid side
