Default 98 Accord Ignition Problem

Hi everyone, I'm hoping I can get some good advise. Please help!

For some reason, on II position, console don't light up and sometimes it does.

1. on I position, everything is fine. (radio start playing)

2. I can start the car and it'll stay running. (on III position)

3. but when I let go of the key and it goes back to II position, either it keeps on running or car dies and console goes dark.

It's been getting worse. If i jiggle and turn toward III position when I'm in II postion, console will light up and goes dark. I can play with the key in II position (by turning more toward III side), everything works. Sometimes it stays and sometimes console goes dark again. When it goes dark, i can feel slight click (seems like it's going back to I position).

Can someone help?

I got a recall letter on my 98 for a bad ignition switch. Check with Honda to see if your VIN number was part of the recall.
