Engine wouldn't turn off

This morning my truck would not turn off after I removed the key. Engine stayed on and instrument panel lit. I turned the key back and forth several times thinking it was the ignition switch. Then I popped the hood. I unscrewed the lid to the fuse box and when I started to lift the cover it shut off. I am thinking stuck relay somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?

*NEW INFORMATION*
Now after I turn off the truck, the headlights, and ONLY the headlights turn on a minute later and stay on. I scanned it and found this code:
P2509 ECM/PCM Power Input Signal Intermittent.
It has been raining here for several days now. Maybe water is an issue if it got into the wrong place. I don't know where to look. Any ideas?

P2509 Vary common problem
code is set when one or both batteries are weak or dead. this would be the first place I would look or loose cable connections check all battery cables.
If you find the batteries are in good shape check for a bad ground at the intake heater or a loose connection to the ECM.
Hope this helps
Good luck

Okay. The code may have been set because the batteries went dead form the truck keeping things powered up. *MORE INFO*
Now the headlights and parking lights are on. If I open the door or give any other input to the truck the lights turn off, and then back on in a minute. I decided to smack the top of the fuse box under the hood, and the lights flashed. I did it again and they went out. Then the lights went on and off by their self. Then off, then hi-beams. Now hi-beams and ONLY hi-beams are on. Maybe just bad/wet connection?
Oh, I'm watching it now and the lights are flickering.

Oh it is? That isn't good. Tomorrow I will go over every connection and connector to the "tipm"
I just can't afford to pay the dealer to replace it if it is the problem. After I smacked it some more I got the lights to stay off for now. I will see if the batteries are dead in the morning if something came on. Thanks for the information. I will continue to post on the issue until it is solved. Anyone have this part replaced before, and have an idea on cost?
