Default Interior lights stay on?

I have noticed that something has been draining my battery. While playing in the car tonight, I noticed that when pushing the switch by the door hinge, the foot lights and dome lights shut off like their supposed to, but after a minute they will just pop on with the door shut. I push the switch back in and nothing happens. Does that sound like a bad switch? or something else? Thanks (this is on a 79). Maybe something to do with delay box???

Suppose it can only be your time delay unit.
But I would first remove the door switch, to make sure there isn't anything funny there, like water?

The timer is behind the glove box...

Here is a link to the repair board.. we have both the timer board and a bypass board if you want the lamps to operate like a normal car.
