Anyone had this before?

Drove the zed with Auto lights selected as I always do (I never turn it off).

Parked it in the garage and turned off the engine. Headlights were off but the dash lights remained on which I thought was weird. I thought perhaps they would turn themselves off but they did not.

So I turned off the lights and the dash lights were still on. I turned them on and off but they remained on and by now my headlights had come on and would not turn off.

Eventually I got them off by putting the key back in and re-applying power (turned the key to position 2) and then switching the lights off again.

Anyone had this issue or similar? I wonder if this is potentially what led to my battery dying a few months ago.. Or maybe Im being paranoid.
 
could be a number of problems:

1. electrical short somewhere.
2. LCM faulty
3. Instrument gauges capacitor faulty.
4. faulty light switch
5. fault on the ignition switch.
 
My old 3.0si had the dash lights stay on once too.

Never happened again though so never thought about it.

Fixed in the same way, power again and then off.
