Yes it more or less is plug and play. There is a cumbersome electrical connector that is removed, then a couple plastic pins which secure the switch into the lock housing. Not too bad to do once you know how to do it, first time seems hard. Not liking the description of the whole assembly feeling loose, that's odd and I can't explain it. The housing is attached to the steering column pretty darn securely, the housing being loose is the only way the switch or lock should seem loose.
If you can monitor voltage at the small wire to the starter, it should tell you if you are getting battery voltage to the starter to pull in the solenoid, would be a good bet it's the switch if you aren't getting battery voltage in the "crank" position on the switch. You can also jump battery voltage to that small connector on the solenoid and the starter should engage. Check battery voltage lately?
