I finally got around to pulling my ignition switch today and indeed the switch was stuck in permanent lock out mode. I was able to resolve that issue thanks to this thread.

Unfortunately that’s not enough to resolve the issue.
I know the electrical switch works using a screw driver, that’s how I’ve been starting my car for the last year b/c I didn’t have time to dive into pulling the mechanical switch.

Now that I’ve resolved the lock out issue, it seems I’m about 5 degrees short of the mechanical switch fully engaging the electrical switch.

Perhaps my electrical switch is worn to the point where the mechanical switch can’t rotate enough to engage it?
I have been using a screw driver to turn it over for the past year so perhaps I over stressed the spring assembly in the switch. Thoughts?
