Question type: Maintenance & Repair

i need some help. I have an 03 toyota tundra with a 4.7 v8
the problem im having started the othwr day when i had a
coolant leak spraying all over under the hood. All of the
accessories stay on radio ac window controls etc... when
the truck is off and key is out of the ignition the gauge
cluster also stays poweres all the time as if the key was in
the one position. I have already replaced the ignition switch
thinking that was my problem but still have the issue. What

I would suspect an electrical component or plug under the hood is still wet with coolant. Is there a junction box or fuse box under the hood, check that for wetness.
