Default Simultaneous Click, No Crank / Buzzer Off Condition

Back again with a Click, No Crank condition. Seems like there are a million posts re: it, and I've posted about a quarter of them.
I've been working around it for about two years now and replaced everything but the ECM in so doing.
Today had the condition a few times in the morning and just now, but got it start.
​​​​
One thing I've always noticed is that as soon as it clicks but does not crank the interior buzzer alarm stops. I've always thought this might be a clue to sourcing the problem cause. Anybody know anything about it?

What are you driving? Do you lose all electric power when this happens? Does the radio forget its memory?

I don't have a stock radio. And I don't think I have any presets on the one I've got in there.
Only the buzzer going off is what I notice. I still have cab light, dash lights, etc.

Key buzzer is just a little switch in the ignition lock cylinder.... Not sure if that is a separate problem or not.... You *may* have an ignition switch on its way out..... but, that is just one possibility.
