Sounds like a short on the ignition switch. It's an extremely easy DIY.
Remove the top and bottom cover of the steering column (3 bolts) and look underneath at the ignition switch (white circular piece of plastic). I think you'll have to remove it to see the wires on it but all conditions point to that.
