Driving home today and my interior lights came on and won't go out. It's not the headlight switch, and does not appear to be the door jamb switches. I know there is a delay timer that can be problematic. I have not looked at the wiring diagram yet. Thought I would post here first as I am sure I'm not the first one on here to see this problem. Suggestions?
There is a circuit board timer behind glove box toward the passenger side b pillar . Replacing that fixed my 82 interior lights staying on problem. I think I got mine from Zip or corvette central.

Thanks. That’s where I’m going to start. I checked a wiring diagram since I posted the question and it looks like I can bypass the module, at least until I get a replacement, if that turns out to be the problem. My only question was where is the module. And you just answered that.

Locate the timer behind the glove box.
Remove the timer.
Connect the 2 white wires together, and the lights will go on and off as you open and close the doors.
Since I hate it when a questions is posted, multiple guys offer their help, and we never hear what the final result was, here's the follow-up to my problem:
Today I located the module behind the glove box and unplugged it. That got the lights to go out. I jumpered the two white wires together and now the interior lights work without the delay. New module is on order.
Thanks for the help.
