Those can be a sign that your ignition switch is going out.

If so, it's about 20 bucks at a dealer and 30 mins or less to swap it (you need a tamperproof torx bit).

We're talking about the electrical connector, not your ignition lock switch.

Good luck.

Here’s a diagram to emphasize HISSIN50's point. Notice that some of the wires have fuse numbers associated with them.
