Car stays running when lights are on

I guess there is a bad earth somewhere

The lights are on when the car is running,

when I turn the car off, when I have the light on using the stork, the car stays running untill I turn the lights off by the stork.

It turned out to be the end rocker arm was flapping around due to the retaining washer/pin loose at the end of the rocker shaft, so the rocker arm was not working at all.

It sounded like a bad cam.
