The light should remain on for about 5 minutes.
If it stay longer than that, you've got a problem that will drain the battery.

Just checking for the record, you changed the ignition switch and the problem was the interior lights were turned on with the dash dimmer switch? Not meant to criticize, I just want to make sure I get the correct picture.
