*update*
I ended up buying a whole ignition switch and harness from Ebay ($75). This solved all of my electrical problems. I only replaced the harness (white plastic cap on the ignition switch where all the wires originate) because the switch itself appeared to be very difficult to remove.
I had to have my airbag codes cleared ($85) because I removed the airbag and steering wheel for better access. I disconnected may of the airbag connections but one may be able to do this without disturbing the airbag system.
Let me know if this helps and sorry for the delay.
