The accessories stay on until you open a door.. or when 10 min hits, the shaker 500 will shut off due to preventing battery drain. Not sure if that is what you are referring to? The owners manual will tell you all about it.

As much as I hate to say it, but you will have to take it to the dealer or some other shop that can fix it.

And I've never heard of the water leak issue causing that severe of an issue with the SJB that the engine won't shut off.

yeah i'm betting something in that ignition switch broke and it's no longer telling the car to turn off when you turn off the key.

Most likely it the switch gone bad.
Replace it before it leaves you stranded.

If it's the water leak for some reason.. it will be chronic until you stop the leak. Cleaning it is only a temporary band aid.
