If the lights that won't go off are the interior lights, then it could be a symptom of a stuck 'door ajar' switch/sensor.
In that case, see "Related Questions" below for more discussion, fixes, and permanent repairs on the door ajar problem.
Our 1999 Ford Windstar Van starts fine but when we shut it off it will not start back up til it has sit for 30 minutes! HELP
The only way to completely reset the anti theft system on a 1999 Ford Windstar is to unhook the battery for 45 minutes. Once you hook the battery back up, the anti theft will be reset and any warning lights will be off.

All headlight bulbs must all be grounded and working.
On a 1999 Ford Windstar, the headlights might come on when the car is shut off because of a mechanism that allows for a courtesy light. The headlights come on for a few seconds to allow time for the driver to enter a building.
the same thing happens to mine........just turn the interior light switch of......it works
In the center of the dash on the left side is a timer relay. it is probably bad, causing the delay part of the lights to not work.
You can switch the traction control system off using the switch to the left of the radio on a 2000 Ford Windstar
On a 1999 Ford Windstar : The warning light that looks like the shape of an engine is the " check engine " warning light . That means that something has been detected that is effecting the emissions of the vehicle The one that shows " O/D OFF " means that the overdrive has been switched off or if it is flashing that means that a problem has been detected

The Windstar has a position on the light dimmer scroll-wheel that turns the interior lights off, even with the doors open. Great for at the picnic, tailgate party, cleaning the car, etc, to keep from killing the battery. Make sure the dimmer switch scroll wheel is not all the way up (or is all the way down?) Also - If you have a malfunctioning "door ajar" switch, after some time, the Windstar will deactivate the interior lights. Fix the door ajar warning and the lights will resume normal functions.

I take it you have daytime running lights , if so by engaging the emergency / parking brake the daytime running lights should go off
