Dash Lights On...Dash Lights Off

Dash Lights On...Dash Lights Off
I have a vexing problem where 'on occasion', the dash lights will stay on even after the motor is off, key is out and doors are locked. Don't want to drain the battery, so I have to disconnect the battery (and for goodness sake - don't close the trunk and lock the doors...it locks the hood release...).
I figured it's got to be ignition switch, so changed it out. So you go along for a couple of weeks - all is good. Then out of the blue....lock the doors and the dash lights are still on.....for several days....then out of the blue, go back to normal.
I'm thinking it could be the steering wheel lock. Anybody have any other ideas??

Not the steering wheel lock - it's the electrical part of the ignition switch. Once it starts to get screwy, all sorts of crap like this happen.
This is the "$12 at Napa" switch that you see in bazillions of threads.

Yes, and it seems to fail repeatedly. I replaced mine about 18 months ago, and it's acting up again.
Is there a better quality replacement available that won't fail again so soon?

I replaced it with the part that Pelican sells - http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/..._pg2.htm#item8 - for $28.50 3 years ago. It is still working fine.
