Make sure the new ignition switch is the correct part number for your vehicle and their isn't a problem stemming from the install. I have seen exactly your problem and it was caused by the ignition switch. And, recall that everything was fine for 3 weeks after you installed the new switch and symptoms are now the same as the old switch.

How do you explain that if he jumps the X from the battery jump terminal in the engine compartment, he can start the engine? Now I'm assuming he is using the same key and the same ignition switch to start the engine, and not a remote starter.
