Brandon,
Remove the steering column cover and examine the ignition switch module.

It's possible that you could have a short in the ignition switch module. Only way to know for sure is to remove the two small phillips head screws holding the ignition switch module in place, (directly opposite of where you insert your key into the ignition/steering wheel lock). Remove the ignition switch module from the steering column & unplug it from the wiring harness. Once you do that, then take a ohm/volt meter or continuity tester & test the switch in EACH position....OFF / ACC / ON / START. Make sure all the position of the switch are working properly & there are NO electrical shorts in any of the positions. If there is, then replace the switch. A faulty ignition switch module can cause the problems you are having now. You can order a replacement at the above mentioned link.
