That's normal. With the key on but the engine not running the alternator is not charging the battery so the light remains on and your oil pressure is 0 so the oil light remains on. Try moving the ignition key forward one click and see if the radio, or whatever you want to use with the engine off, will work. Hope that helps! Jim
