Everything working on the car?
No blown fuses or owt?
Or maybe a alternator fault allowing it to back feed?

Had the same on a tranny
New switch on the back of the ignition
Also had a tranny that needed the key turned to position 3 to run
Hard and painful to drive constantly holding the key in a sprung position
