Most likely it is the electrical portion of the switch. That is on the left side of the steering column and attached to the rear of the keyed switch.

Removing the clam shell plastic around the column is not a terrible task, a T25 is all that is needed. That will expose the electrical part of the switch, which may be just loose for some strange reason...

Replacing the lock cylinder can be done at home, with a lot of patience, but you need to order a new one from the Dealer. It comes already coded to your car and includes an extra key which is also coded to your car. No software required. Getting the two screws out can be a challange, the heads break off by design. There is a suggestion to use a punch and a small hammer to turn the screws, or, get a big drill and drill out the screws.
