Ignition switches are a known failure point. Had to do our '01 at 70K. There are a number of stories here of failed switches with all sorts of electrical gremlins as a result. In our case it was a phantom AB Light with no associated codes. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find lots of posts of symptoms and cures.
