Now when the key is turned to accessory, the a/c face plate stays lit either the lights are on or off. Is that standard?
Yes.
Even more so, you have a A/C Panel Illumination Relay, and and A/C Panel Illumination Resistor (in your relay compartment). They work together. When the headlights are OFF, the HVAC panel shows full brightness, and with the lights on, the relay feeds the power through the resistor pack which has the effect of dimming your HVAC panel.
