What do you mean by hot wiring? If you jump it and it starts, its your battery.

when I say hot wiring... I mean using the wires underneath the steering wheel ti start it...you know the same way you would steal a car

You may have a problem with your ignition switch since when you bypass it stuff works. Is there a lot of play or looseness in the switch ?

nortreboss

yeah there is looseness.... So should I get a new switch or what?

I would do some testing before I changed it. You'll need a wiring diagram to find the right ones to check and honestly you will probably need to go to the dealer to fix it. Even if you can find a new switch somewhere else it won't be keyed to your key.

Spray some wd40 in your ignition key hole

I'd try a locksmith before the dealer..
