I have a 2003 Grand Am and the interior lights wont go off. Sometime while I am driving they will go off but when I slow down they come back on again

strange, check the door jamb switch, sometimes it will get stuck, or the connection will sometimes come off and then the wire will barely touch the terminal, causing all kinds of problems

you'll have to check all the doorswitches as this can cause your lights to stay on. one of them may be bad and letting the wire contac ground. if not that then it may be your body control module may need to be reprogrammed or it's gone bad. make sure to clean any ground you can find as well as that may be a cause.

also check the bulb too, it may be partially out thus causing this mind of its own thing with it, when it touches its contact
