Default 1987 Jeep Cherokee ignition

I was having trouble with my jeeps ignition. The ignition would turn and start my jeep but my radio and windshield wipers didn't come on. I would have to jiggle my ignition switch back and forth and when I hit a certain spot they would come on. As I drove the jeep the windshield wipers and radio would go off and I would have to jiggle the ignition to get them to come back on. I replaced the ignition but still have the same problem.

Any ideas before I tear my steering column apart again?

Depends what kind of wiggle. Back and forward? Might be the neutral safety switch. But if your key has connectors on the inside you might want to switch that out to.
