There is a second light switch that activates the parking lights without the key being on. It is on top of the steering column behind the steering wheel. If this switch is turned off and the lights remain on when the key is off, there is a malfunction in this circuit.
When my 95 Neon light stayed on, it was caused by a bushing on the door that fell off. Without that bushing, the switch was never pushed in and the light remained on. Check all your doors. turn the headlight switch until it goes off or the other answer
Often there is a switch on the dashboard, or an "on" function to an existing switch, such as a dimmer switch. It merely needs to be turned "off" and doors closed, to watch for light going out, notwithstanding any timer or short convenience period.
