Problems with ignition switch . help

Okay got a 94 jeep cherokee sport 4.0 when I turn the
key backwards for accessories only the radio, cig lighter , and blower works. But when when I turn it the opposite way to start ( which it qlways starts) I have no radio, no cig, no air (blower for air) and no flashers. What does this sounds like? Thanks!

The switch is not very expensive and it is mounted on the lower steering column near the brake pedal with only two screws holding it in place.

Well a couple of weeks ago when I would turn the key to where the blower, radio, and fuel pump comes on (right before it turns over ) it would kinda get stuck and I would have to kinda force it. Think its within ?
