    Theres all kinds of switches and contacts inside the switch assembly. Could just be a bad or dirty contact. 2 screws and 2 plugs to pull it off the column, and 4 torx screws to pop the assembly apart. gotta pull the ignition lock cylinder to take the column trim apart, kind of a pain, gotta be careful no to break the "pinger" contact clip/ unless you dont want a door pinger anymore. i taped mine off.
