Matt,

Yeah,

Does your wiper and horn turn on in the "on "
position?

 your problem must have something to do
with a wire that feeds your ignition switch 
with a "hot" wire that feeds your starter,
coil, and all accesories that requires key to
be turned on and maybe your radio is hooked
up to the same circuit. My car is has
the ignition switch directly connected to
my battery via a separate little wire
that directly comes from posive  battery
post and this wire goes to the third fuse
from the right on the fuse box and this goes 
to the key switch. The other stuff like
lights comes from another wire to the fuse box.
This maybe a mod done to my car. I think
the BLK wire from the key switch is the
hot positve wire that is fed by the fuse box.
The red wire on the switch is the wire that is
directly hooked up to the starter blade connection 
on the starter solenoid. On my car this circuit has a 
relay that the previous owner installed to prevent
the switch starter mode from wearing out.

Check for any hot wire from your switch, lack
of this will cause this problem.
follow the wire back to the fuse box and also 
find out where this wire goes from the "hot"
wire from the radio. Follow this circuit as
I mentioned. Check wipers and horn and see
if it is the circuit I suspect. Update me
and I will give you something to follow.
I beleive one of your balde connectors 
got disconnected or you have an inline fuse that
someone put in that blew. Diagrams are in the 
Bently manual.
