95 240 ka auto all stock

About a week ago I got in my car turned the key and nothing happened. No lights, no chime, no buzzes, or clicks. After inserting the key and removing it several times, the car started and ran fine. It's been fine up until this morning. I turned the key and everything came on like normal but when I tried to turn the engine over it clicked and went to nothing again. In my frustration I did like any redneck would do and smacked the dash. When I did everything came on like normal. Of course when I tried to start it again it clicked and went blank. Now I'm thinking ignition switch but why when I hit the dash does all the accessories come on? I can sit in the car with the key in the accessory position, hit the dash and everything will light up but when I try to start it, it clicks and goes right back to nothing until I hit it again. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

My car was just giving me this problem as well. Mine is a 95 Ka auto as well. I just had to replace the ignition switch on mine and then it was all fine. It was giving me the same symptoms your talking about as well except I never tried hitting it on the dash.
