Default battery goes dead with key in ignition switch

1999 ranger

Bought a used ranger. 3 times the battery went dead within a week or so.
(key left in after turning off engine)


Replaced battery but the new battery also went dead
in a few days.

Then startedREMOVING the key from the ignition.

Battery NEVER went dead again! (this has been my fix so far)

Do I have a bad switch? Has anyone else seen this problem?

(Dealer's answer, OH you have to use your truck every few days! HA)
