I just replaced my ignition switch. I took the old one apart. The contacts were hashed and covered with kind of a carbon deposit. Age, I’m guessing. About a week prior to that my SRS light had come on. It’s still on. Is there any correlation?

Maybe yes, maybe no, but in the meantime your airbag(s) will not deploy in the event of a collision, so I would suggest that you have the SRS problem diagnosed a.s.a.p.
