No reset needed for the ignition switch.
If the ignition lock cylinder is replaced, a passkey reset needs to be performed.
If you're experiencing a problem, it would be a good idea to relate specifically what it is.
Try rec.autos tech or do a google search. The usual posters here know nothing about cars.

What happens when you open the door?
2002 Might it have a RAP module?
That's what I'm thinking. Haven't checked Mitchell yet...
Just looked. Shows a RAP relay.

Retained Accessory Power module = It's a power subsystem that is on a timer. The idea behind it is that you can drive someplace, turn the key OFF and until you open a door the radio, lights, seats, windows will all work for approx. 20 minutes. My wife loves it because she uses her vehicle as a lunchroom and the timer works just right for her 30 minute lunches.
BUT if the module fails it can lock on the power for longer than the twenty minutes.

If it is just starting to fail the problem you are seeing could be the RAP module.
The way it works is, Drive someplace shut off the key and you can still run the accessories you want. Until you open one of the doors. You can also just turn the key to ON and start the timer again.
