Starting issues??

In the last couple of days my truck has been starting funny. I turn the key on and it's all good then the WTS light goes out and it acts like the "theft" alarm or dissable kicks in, and it won't start. If I press on the brake while I crank it, it will start no problem. No SES light neiter.
I'm thinking either the key is bad or the ignition switch it'self. Heck maybe a relay if it has one for that. Any suggestions before I tare into it?
