Default wj simply won't turn off.

So, For some reason while my jeep was away from me the past two weeks it devolved a problem. It won't get out of accessory. I can turn it on and can start. But putting it in the off position and taking out the key does not completely turn the car off. the radio, lights, turn signals everything can still function as if I have it in accessory mode.

It does have a viper alarm, nothing has changed the past 3 years I have had it. I have tried to isolate the issue. Unplugging the tumbler, viper alarm box and a fuses or two, but the jeep remains on. Does anyone have any ideas? I want to see if this is something I can fix before I take it to the audio/alarm shop out of warranty.

Also, since I have owned it, the tumbler has been kinda worn. I can take out the key when ever I want. Even while the engine is running. But if i do have to replace it, I got to figure if you can have it re-keyed so one key works for the door and ignition.
thanks all!
this is on my 2001 wj limited
