Hi,
When you turn the key, do the dash lights turn on? Does anything electrical, such as the horn or headlamps, work properly?
As far as a possible battery issue, here is a link that explains how to load test one at home without any tools. Try this and let me know the results.

As far as the switch, was it the actual switch or the key/lock cylinder where the key goes? I ask because the lock cylinder is inserted at the end of the housing opposite the ignition switch. If it wasn't properly installed, it may not be making contact with the actual switch. Take a look at the directions below for replacing the lock cylinder.
I don't know if you or someone else did the work, but if it was you, see if there is anything in the directions you may have missed.
Let me know.
Take care,
Joe
