Interesting problem, on the starter is a "trigger" wire that originates from the ignition (may run to the power distribution center). When the truck is started 12 volts runs down that wire and activates the solinoid on the starter. Put a 12 volt test light on the trigger wire by the starter, have someone hit the key to start, test light should come on, if not chase wire back and look for a break in the wire or replace trigger wire.

Hi
An unusual one here !
Suspect the problem lies in the starter solenoid.
But most strange a for constant live feed with ignition off.
May possibly be more a relay problem ?
Good Luck
John.
P.S. Don´t forget to give me a rating please !
