The interior lights in the vehicle have not turned on for several weeks. Now, they will not shut off. After starting the car, I had to drive home with the interior lights on and they will not turn off upon shutting off and exiting the vehicle.

I assume you have checked the dash light dimmer switch and the selector switch on the dome light.

If the switch's are not turned on you will need a professional scan tool to examine the body data to determine which door is open causing it. Then you can narrow down the area you need to troubleshoot.
