Are the lights working or not really tied to the engine being running or
really tied to the key being in the on or run position?

Maybe pop the stereo out and inspect the wiring. There is a wire (on most
stereos) that ties into the lighting system to tell the stereo if it should
dim it's display. Could an an issue in that circuit.

My first suspicion (not being able to see the car) based on what you've said
so far is a sloppy wiring job behind the radio.
