Strange electrical problem

First of all I'm new here and was glad to find this forum. I have 2 Ford Trucks, a '95 250 and a '65 100 which my son and I are rejuvenating.

My problem is with my '95. Last week I noticed the heater fan was not working. Also the wipers started acting up and some of my dash lights would come on very dim. I took the climate control panel out and noticed NO obvious shorts or loose wires. I have had a loose ignition switch (the key) for quite awhile and this is my main suspect. Can anyone relate to this?
How difficult is it to replace this switch? Any special tools needed? I'm pretty handy with fixing my own ride but never have been an ace with electrical stuff.
Thanking you in advance,

-Russell
