I don't see any real way that the gauges can get power other than through the ignition switch - are you saying that you can disconnect the connector to the ignition switch and the gauges/lights are still live?
If so, I'd be looking at the ignition connector and seeing if something has melted/degraded to let the input & output short together?!?!

Yep that's what am saying you can unplug all four plug connectors to the steering column and the gauges are still on . So you the ignition is the problem?

Good stuff - glad you got it fixed (but not sure how much use I was!!)
Either way - glad you're back on the road!!
