I bought a piece of thick gauge wire and im going to ground the hell out of this thing !

I asked on the Honda forums about testing ignition switches, and they said that i should see the warning light come on and stay on for a second or two when i turn the key. Also, if i pull up the emergency brake, the light is supposed to stay on.
Are you aware of any other tests for the switch ? ( it passed the signal light testing )
Make sure both positive and negative battery terminals are clean (cables removed) and clean the inside of both cables where they contact the terminals on the battery. Also make sure the other ends of both battery cables are clean and tightly connected to their respective components.
