Does this sound like an ignition switch issue? Ari?

I posted on the weekend about losing my right side "parking lights" as Saab calls them, along with my instrument/dashboard lights. Here's the story:
I found I had a tail light bulb separated from its base and had, I thought, shorted out the circuit, which also has the rheostat for the dash lights (Fuse 29 I think it is). I put in new bulbs and all seemed OK. Then Monday AM I turn on the lights while driving and I lose the parking lights and dash lights again.
So I put in a new fuse and turn the lights on, but just in the middle position on the switch with the car turned off. Everything works. Then I turn the key to "On" and the fuse blows. I have tested it with the rheostat out of the circuit and the fuse blows and with a different light switch, but the result is the same, so it's probably not one of those components.
Does that sound like the ignition switch is the culprit? Everything else electrical seems to be fine. I don't want to just throw parts at it, so advice is needed.
Thanks!
Noel
