warning lights, a/c and stereo stay on

[danegerous]

Hey all. My current monster, an '03 F350 with just shy of 30k miles is acting up. When you turn the key off and take out the key, alll the accessories stay on and drain the battery. I think it may be an ignition problem but I want to be sure before I tear into it...closest for dealership is probably a few thousand miles away. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem and what they've done about it. Thank you.

Details:

2003, 6.0L, Extended cab, long bed, automatic trans. No 30k service aside from oil and filter, and egr cleaning.

This may seem crazy but if you open the under dash department on the very right is a bolt with several grounds on it. Every time i disconnect the ground the radio comes on check to make sure you have a good ground there.
