So I am wondering if I need to replace the ignition switch? Is that a difficult project?

Or could it be something else? Moving the shifter back and forth to find a sweet spot (ie bad bushings as a few years ago) does not work so it is definitely not the bushings. I guess.
I did mine a few years ago and replaced tumbler to while I was in there, I would say the one thing I learned was to park under a tree next time or do on a cloudy day.
