The ignition switches can really generate some strange problems when they seperate. Mine did basically the same and had me scratching my head for a little while. Usually you can reseat the metal prongs that hold the plastic housing to get you by for a short time. The new switch isn't expensive so replacement is definitely the way to go.
Glad you found it before spending a lot of time and money.
