84 300SD key switch bad?

i posted another forum but thinking on it if i might have a bad key switch as well.i have an 84 300sd when i turn the switch about half the time it wont crank it will go thru the glow plug cycle fine then just click sometimes or nothing at all but when i pop the hood and take the plastic cover off the wire harness on the passenger side and touch the two outside contacts together with a piece of wire it fires right up
