My buddy's 88 is a nightmare

Here we go....
This is an odd one. My buddy just bought and 88 for dirt cheap...but it has some "Gremlins" walkin around in there. This post will concentrate on only one of them...
Engine off/key off...when you turn the parking lights or headlights on the fuel pump kicks on...
Engine running...when you turn the lights on the cluster dies but the car keeps on running...
The car has a Clifford alarm hooked up and tucked up in the dash, but no remotes for the piece of junk...
Its an 88 5.0 with a stick and 104,000...

I haven't dipped into this baby yet, but some advise would be appreciated...thanks in advance.
