I have changed the starter relay and the starter. Still engages while truck is running. Is it the ignition switch?

I actually got the truck started and put a dmm on the small wire, which I removed, and read 14.33v. Sounds like you were right. Where on the steering column can I find the serial number so I can figure out which switch I will need?
