This is opposite of normal. Usually periphery items are removed from the
ignition circuit to minimize load. Maybe something is wrong with the
ignition switch, but I'd guess someone has messed with the wiring of the
vehicle. It sounds like the running light circuit is being used as supply
for the starter, and I doubt the switch is designed to handle that level of
current. Switch is off and the circuit is not complete; car no startum (I
assume you mean does not turn over at all).

You could swap ignition switches and test, since it's pretty easy, but I
imagine you'll need to analyze the wiring of the ignition circuit via
Bentley diagrams.
