When I turn off motor what ever electronics are on stay on and the switches have no effect. Lights,radio,wipers also key turns but no crank. It has happened 3 times now if I disconnect battery and let sit it will start no problem and everything works again. I have replaced ignition switch so far . Stock truck with just basic features.

Do you have a 2nd battery? It could be feeding power.

Also, maybe a bad ignition relay, read up on how to test those.

Finally, maybe a bad diode in your alternator. There are testing options to determine different problems.

Good luck.

Hey
Below can be the Potential Causes for your issues:

Faulty Starter Motor: Listen for Unusual Noises during starting.
Weak Battery: Test battery condition and check connections.
Malfunctioning Alternator: Check Alternator output for proper charging.
Ignition Switch Issues: Inspect wiring and ensure a proper connection.
Ground Connection Problems: Look for corrosion or looseness in ground connections.
OBD-II Scan: Use a scanner to check for error codes.
Fuses and Relays: Inspect for blown fuses or faulty relays.
Anti-theft System: Ensure it isn't causing starting issues.

If troubleshooting doesn't work, Seek Professional help.
Thanks
