Default HELP Ignition switch

I need help finding out what part I am going to need. When I try to start my 92 it is like the key won't turn that final twist to start it. It is almost like the battery is dead but it isn't. I jiggled it and got it started but it needs to be fixed. Would I just need a ignition switch or could it be something else?

Do you mean the key won't physically turn?
Or it turns all the way, but nothing happens with the starter?

No it turns but it just doesn't turn the whole way, I have checked my starter, alternator and battery all are good. Think it might be the key, have my other set on the way here to try that, I am thinking it is the key or the ignition. It is like you are starting it and the battery is dead...it doesn't turn all the way.

you may have a bad tumbler. One thing alot of people do is put to many keys etc. on there key ring, and that takes out ignition switches pretty fast.
