It is possible you have an issue in the colum,it could be shorting out the ignition switch.
I would look under the dash and see if you might be stretching some wires are maybe the colum is loose and shorting out inside.

You can have a short in the colum and not effect anything else,the lights other than the dimmer are not in the colum. I read recently where that actually happened to someone else that is what made me think of it.
