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.

When the BST is fired it forces the cable back and springs tabs prevent the cable from moving forward again to provide electrical contact. See diagram.
