Help electrical Gremlins

So it’s 92 started off with a no start replaced a relay not sure if it’s a start or ignition relay but fixed the no start issue. Drove about 10 mile turned the corner and she just died complete electric power loss in cab. Replaced 3 of the link wires with 40 amp circuit breakers. Back running again but now no Speedo or OD. Replaced the vss no change no input voltage on the plug in to it when running and only 12.3 volts at batt when running. This morning drained batt and when I shut it off lock position key removed the oil and info center are still lit up.

you have to drop column down to access ignition switch, with 2 screws in slotted holes, it might be loose, not allowing ignition to be turned off.

my mistake, you have tilt, should be a switch replacement, usually when they fail staying on, they dont feel right when turning key.

Yes and they can be a pain. Two things you can do.. use a small punch and flatten the pin or go to your local Harbor freight or the equivalent and get a cheep set of safety torque bits.. usually around $10 bucks
