ignition switch off engine and lights still ON

I just turned the engine off with the lever on the IP and pulled the wires from the battery since when I turned the key to the off position everything was still ON.
Before I start tearing into it, is this something common? Like replace the ignition switch on the column?

Thanks for any advise.

Happened to me once also....loose ground wire, although it could be many things. Try the wire wiggle test first.
