Last night I got into my car and turned the key, but the interior lights and door open chime would not turn off when I started the car. They stayed on while I drove down the street - I which point I turned around and when home. Checked all obvious things like making sure all doors closed, some fuses etc. Also, the door locks were not working properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The lights went off after about 5 minutes - They usually go off right when I lock the doors.
Besides the horrible noise of the door chime, is there any harm in driving the car this way?

Can't see any harm in driving. Might try and disconnect Comfort Mod.
