My 1998 ford ranger dashlights wont go off even with the keys out of the ignition. My cluster dimmer switch wont dim them or turn them off either. But when I turn the dimmer switch up to bright setting it makes my running lights go on and I can slowly turn the dimmer switch back down and if sims my running light all with no keys in the ignition.

Sounds like a bad switch. You'll need to get a meter and find out which one, though.

Which do I check the cluster dimmer switch and the ignition switch?

Multifunction and dimmer. I wouldn't think it'd be the ignition, but I'd have to see the schematic to be sure.
