    Just a side note. A diesel engine has no ignition. When a diesel engine is running the only way to stop it is to cut off the fuel supply. On a small diesel engine it's shut off by the fuel/run solenoid

    Key 12v+ taken from ECM via ignition switch shuts engine down. (no power to ECM cuts off injector solenoids etc.)

    Its been awhile since this post but THANK YOU!!. I came outside tonight to find my truck ign on and the low air alarm. I cleaned every fuse and connection in the box the past 4 hours with no progress. after I found the PDM I popped the cover by accident and the ign went off :). found my issue due to water

    Just had the same problem. Woken by air pressure warning beeper. Started truck and wouldn't shut off. Read this thread and pulled 10 amp relay truck shut off. It started raining while I was sleeping. The b pillar is soaked inside. Any idea where the water comes from? Seems to be a lot in there.
