Even if it is just bad connectors I have no idea how to wire in a new set to the ignition switch. Wiring is not my field, lol.

You will not have to because it is a plug and play. You just disconnect at a connection and plug in the new one.

Well that is a relief. Thank you for all your help. Tomorrow after work I will order the connectors from rock auto if they need replacing. I am hoping it is just corrosion. In which case I have electrical cleaner.

Whatever this black box is is what I smack gently with a hammer. What does it look like to you?

Is it a plug connector? Like if you hit it with anything smaller than a hammer it takes forever but a hammer works every time, lol.
