It's a chassis issue, for sure. Not really a 'Barth specific' problem. Could be any of the mentioned things... a loose wire, a switch out of adjusment, or a worn out ignition switch itself... or a number of other possibilities. It's probably minor, once you find it! Could be as simple as a loose ground wire. To track something like this down you need to do one thing at a time till you find it. Can you wiggle the key and start it? Can you just shake the wires and start it? Good luck!
