I wanted to post a fix that solved a problem I was having in hopes that it might help someone else. My dome lights would come on at random while I was driving. It was especially common when I went over a bump. It turned out to be the ignition switch. It had some play in it, and I was able to get the dome lights to come on jiggling the key around once the car was running. It was easy to replace; YouTube is a great resource. I have attached some photos to show the wear of the old one. The new dorman part ran me $25 with a lifetime warranty. I can feel a huge difference in terms of firmness when I insert the key and go the start the vehicle.
