Hello Mac Davis, My Dodge (Chrysler, Plymouth) days significantly pre-date your 2001... although in trouble shooting "modern" Dodge switches ... I have noticed there are a huge number of "SWITCHES" available... Meaning you are VERY likely on the RIGHT TRACK.. If you are NOT comfortable taking YOUR switch apart... BUY a (practice) DONOR switch from eBay and examine/dismantle... play, test... (etc.) to your heart's content... See BELOW (circuit drawings) Totally FREE Circuit Drawings & Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) are available on the BBB Industries website... Registration is required... (These are REAL documents)... BBB Industries Premium Alternators Starters Power Steering Products The only problem... Every time you return from the DRAWINGS you are in the Technical Service Bulletins... and must switch back to "WIRING"... but FREE... helps. I hope I have. Carnac the Magnificent

There is an issue where the oxygen sensor that is after the catalytic converter can short out internally in the heater circuit and cause a voltage to feed back into the transmission.

If it does then you are looking at a possible transmission issue.

Have you tried blowing on the aera where the key goes into with a hair dryer if this solves the issue maybe think about replacing it at your earliest convenience, just a thought....
