That's why relays are used...to transfer the load "around" the ignition circuit.

Check other components on that circuit to see if they are still "live". How long has it been that way? Any chance it's been rewired incorrectly?

Did you try swapping relays (same ratings) to see what happened?
I have checked the relays in the fuse block under the hood and they are working properly and I also even replaced them with new ones and no difference. I also installed a new ignition switch harness in the column, same issue. The wiring hasn't been touched. So, I know it is not wired wrong.
Is there any other relays that could be stuck and causing this and if so. Does anyone know where they could be located? I already have 90% of the dash removed.
