I recently lost my only key for my car. It only sat for a month. After taking out the ignition switch and getting a key made and driving to a friends house it died in the driveway as if I just turned the key off. The head lights will turn on. Everything works accept for what would come on if I turned on the key switch was on. I'm guessing the switch is bad and going to test the voltage to the switch tonite. Nothing is visibly wrong with the wiring so far and all fuses are fine. I'm just looking for any suggestions just incase it could be something else
