Ignition woes

[dart6]

The car starts with the key all the time but sometimes there are no turn signals, gauges ect even though the car starts. They will work when i jiggle the key.
Is this the culprit http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=44046&cc=1229228&jsn=9

Now today i could not turn the key all the way off to remove the key.
Is this the culprit and could it be responsible for both issues

If your description is accurate, I'd go with the ignition switch. Sounds to me that the little "prong" on the end of the switch is broken or something because the lock would move this, making contacts in the switch. Hope this helps

what kind of car?

Yeah, model & year would be a big help.

In my opinion, the statement "they will work when I jiggle the key" says it all. You have a problem with your ignition switch. I'm not 100% sure how that could hang up & keep the key from coming out... unless it's really, really bad & physically broken somehow. To be safe, I'd put a new ignition lock in there too. You have to take the lock out anyway to change the ignition switch in a column-lock car like you have.
