You can try a simple test. Unplug the brown wire 12 gauge, at the fuse panel and the pink wire at the fuse panel and test for feedback voltage to the key by measuring the No. 1 pin wire with the key off for 12 volts. If you don't get it then your problem is downstream of the key switch.

The pink wire also has other connections that could provide feedback but the fuse panel is the main one. The orange wire on the fuse panel is hot all the time for the parking lights the stop lights and dome light, but the ignition should be hot
I have an appointment now so I will check back later. VV
