Key out of ignition the dash light and radio stay on. Its like the lights are stuck on 1st click but when its off it stays on. Any ideas.

Ive searched a little but eveyone thats having similar issue has issues shutting engine off when key is out, but my car starts and shuts off like normal

The ignition switch contacts are likely dirty, worn out, and gummed up. This part (48750-01G00) on the opposite side or your steering column from the ignition key is an easy replacement fix.
