Could be the tab for the key in ign chime is loose in the ign switch.

Dad had this happen.

Followed JMC's post ( #10 ) in this thread to gain access to it, and when I took the tumbler set out, the tab fell out also.

No more key in ign for no reason, but the key in the ign does not work either ( dad also wanted this ).

In the GEM if memory serves me correctly.

You would have to unbolt the Cab fuse panel / GEM combo.
Unplug all the connectors to both.

Unbolt the GEM from the CJB ( aka Central Junction Box / cab fuse panel )

Unsolder the speaker from the GEM.

Follow JMCs post, I was a bit hesitant, but it went really easy.
Took all of 4 min tops, to remove it, watch the part drop on the floor, put it back in, and test the ignition switch.
