There is just enough voltage in the battery to light up the dash but not enough to turn the engine over. The little lamps consume way less energy as opposed to cranking the engine.

87 Chevy Suburban have lights and horn but no ignition gauges interior lights or radio Any ideas?
If a 1987 Chevy Suburban has lights and horn, but no ignition, gauges, radio, or interior lights it could be a ground wire problem. It is possible that there is a short somewhere. Also check the dome light for a possible water leak in the headliner.

It happened to me, im not saying it is the same thing but look into it, mine was a actuator and pin in the steering column that was broken and wouldn't pull back when you turned the ignition off.AnswerSounds like you have a bad ignition switch. It stays in the run position instead of going to the off position and stopping the flowing of current to the ignition.
