Default Ignition Switch???

I just picked up a 1990 miat for my daughter. About a week ago I noticed
the power windows and a/c fan would not work. The they started working. I
noticed if they are inop and I wiggle the ingintion key (with car running)
they start working. I suspect teh ignition switch contacts are worn. Does
my diagnosis make sense?

Sounds like it. After you replace the switch tell your daughter to not
have a heavy key ring, for quite a few years most Ford products have
suffered bad ignition locks from heavy key rings.
