If the interior lights are staying on there are a few possibilities;

The light switch is bad
The door striker switch is stuck in the on position or shorted out
The timing control unit that turns the lights off, a PCU unit, may be bad

The first thing to do is to have the trouble codes pulled. Any Advance Auto or Auto Zone stores will do this for free. Get those and come back to us if you need further help.
