For full features; Go to 92 Rodeo Ignition Problems
I have a 92 Rodeo 3.1V6 4x4 I thought the starter went out on it because I
got the sterotypical clicking so I replaced it and now my Rodeo try to turn
over without the ignition being on until it drains the battery or the
battery starts to sizzle. I have had several people look at it and no one
has a clue whats wrong I have checked all fuses all ignition wires and
replaced the starter relay.I was wondering if anybody had an idea what the
problem might be or if they have experienced this and solved it.I miss my
Rodeo any advice would be helpful.Thanks

If it's trying to turn over without the ignition being on either you've
crossed a wire, or your solenoid's arcing itself. My guess is something in
the solenoid. You can try to see if there's power going out of the ignition
switch, and if not you know it's at the starter/solenoid.

I don't know if this would be the case here, but a friend had the same
problem. It turned out to be a kill switch that a previous owner had put
under the dashboard. He must have hit it with his knee without knowing. He
replaced the starter and relay before finding the switch.
