2008 Gmc Canyon Pick Up 1/2 Ton, Problem Starting At Random Times?

Is the problem with ignition or starter or electrical problem?..I did have the alternator tested, it is good. Just purchased battery 2 months ago. At random times, the pick up will not start..when the key is turned, there is no sound, just blank sound. Usually I wait arund 15 minutes and then it will start without a problem.. At other times when I do turn off the ignition, the radio keeps playing even after i exit the truck. Yet at other times, windshield wipers will began to operate when ON-Switch is OFF
