Default I need some help diagnosing my ignition switch function

It is a new switch (1month old) and it works 5% of the time now. I took the dash out and push on the wires going to the switch and it works all the sudden, somtimes... I don't know if I'm looking fo a short, bad ground, starter wire or what? The interior lights work, but the dash just gives off a faint light somtimes.

When you turn the key all the way do the head lights come on.

Default Probably just a bad connection with the wires. Who installed it.

If you did or the factory or something maybe one of the wires got a little bit of a tough tugg and got pulled out of place.
