You have a problem with a transmission control circuit. Why are you looking at a ignition switch?

If the solenoid turns out to be the problem, that is internal to the transmission so I suggest ou have a trans specialist look at it..

before changing ignition switch, i found a article on this website pertaining to this problem, since then i hav not been able to find that article. on other website, found that ign2 white wire is loose, chaffed error codes and transmission problems will occur.
