Post take the key out but some stuff stays on

Sometimes i take the key out and some lights stay on, like the voltage warning light, and the oil pressure warning light and the idiot light [ ! ].

Anyone have this before?

possibly the X-terminal relay sticking, next time it happens open the relay cover and tap the relay and see if the lights go off, if not then it probably is the ign. switch.

ok new discovery...dont know if it has anything to do with the lights being on when i turn it off. but when i got home i turned all the lights off and the car was still running, and the middle light was very faintly on, i could only see it because it was so dark around. but if i reved it it would go off comepletely then when it idled again it would light up just a little
