Engine won't turn off!
I drove for about 15 minutes and when I turned the truck off at the ignition on the column, nothing happened. This was not dieseling, but regular operation. At the beginning of my trip, I noticed that the turn signals wouldn't work while parked but they were okay once I was moving so I didn't worry about it. I'm trying to figure out what and where the relay to cut power off (opposite of the starter solenoid) is located. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

I am trying to get to the ignition switch but cannot figure out how to get there. I popped off the front of the steering wheel and removed the nut that I thought secured the wheel on, but it wouldn't come off. Am I choosing the correct route, and if so how does the steering wheel come off? I do not have a tilt column.

I just read a post under my question I posed about the non-turn off situation. You should read what the other guys said about trying to narrow it down to see if it is your ignition switch or a mechanical link in the steering column.
After you remove the nut from the threaded rod holding the steering wheel, you have to use a steering wheel puller to get the wheel off. You cannot pull it or pry it or you will bend the shaft. Rent one from Auto Zone for free, or do like I did and buy a universal steering wheel remover from them for $14. It gets more fun after you get the wheel offf. The turn signal lever is threaded on. There are two silver rods, threaded on the inside that you will see, one on each side of the column. Thread a machine bolt in and use pliers to pull the bolt out and the silver rod comes out with it. Try to take the metal column surround off as carefully as you can so you can see how the parts underneath it are arranged/connected.
