It pretty much has to be an ignition switch problem. It's not a key cylinder
problem. The good news is that the '72-3 switches are readily available and
cheap. I have them if you can't find one locally. There are several versions of
the late switches, used on lots of VWs from '72-on; the best way to make
sure you get the right one is to count the pins on the back of yours.
If you stick your head under the dash, you should be able to see a round
connector that plugs directly onto the back of the switch. Pull that off and
look at the pins on the rear of the switch.
