electriclal problems, starter? ignition switch?

Went outside to start my car and it rolled over a few times, then the starter quit on me. I though alright, pull the starter out and get a new one, no big deal. Took it to get tested and the starter worked fine on the tester. Went back home and put the starter back in tried to crank it over and not even a click. After a few turns of the key i noticed that my idiot lights stopped working and the open door buzzer quit going off when the key is in the on position. I played around with that for a little bit and now when the key is in the acc position, the open door buzzer is very faint. It seems like my ignition switch is going out starting from the start position working it's way back through. Start is out, on is out, acc is on its way out. Any ideas? I need help fast. Thanks fellas.

I'll go for the obvious and ask if you have tried jumping the car.
