98 accord ignition switch ok went out and tested it again I can get contuinity if I play with the key a little but not in the manufacturers key settings am guessing the switch? (where the key is on the steering column all the slots line up and it is not sloppy)..(battery off just testing key through the harness / fusebox)..
