sounds like a common live issue or an earth issue. I ain't no expert but there must be a link between the light switch and ignition for say the lights on warning buzzer or something. maybe there's a stray wire behind the light switch???

Hi
If you left the lights on for say 5 minutes, will the engine keep running for 5 minutes ?
