Iginition Switch Symptom Confirmation- Help! 200

Hello Everyone,

So my 1990 240 has been having a small issue the past few months. You start the car and the SRS light stays on and the AC Fan doesn't work. If you barely back the ignition key off, it all works and the light goes away.
It did it again as usual, then I came back to my car after an errand and the dash lights came on and then nothing (they went off). Regardless of the key turning or position, no lights, no start. The car seems dead. It is not as the parking lights and the brights work great.

So clearly it is my ignition, but is it just the switch that needs replacing or is there something going on with the barrel too? The spring works when you put the key in and out (mostly) sometimes it's slow.

I want to order a new switch but I want to make sure that's what it is and not the key and barrel doing it.

I appreciate your help.
