Sounds like an ignition switch.Use a test light to see if there is any power to the fuses for the accessories at the fuse block. Check every fuse in the vehicle, underhood and underdash

Yes, I meant the electric part of the switch, not the tumbler.Sounds like the VCM isnt turning on. There are several fuses and the ignition that power the VCM (vehicle control module). Check for power at pin 16(pink wire) on the VCM to se if it has power with key on.That feed comes from the ECM/IGN fuse
