Arrow Truck tries to start itself while on Accessory.

Vehicle: 2004 Chevy Silverado.

Problem: The truck starts when the key is turned all the way. But when turning the ignition to Accessory, the engine tries to start itself but doesn't turn over.

Resolution attempts: The ignition switch has been replaced. It did not fix the problem.

Check the wiring to the ignition switch and to the starter. Something is shorted.
