Yeah, the ignition switch on my Escort (and pretty much all Escorts when they get like > 20 years old or more and have over 200K on them) have separate key part and electrical ignition switch parts that cause the car to not start when the electrical part wears out. I could see it doing exactly this but would need to review the schematic to see exactly what common point on the switch would cause this.
