Default door lights

out of nowhere my inside lights above the door handles are staying on even after the door closes. This is absolutely bizarre. i don't even know how this can occur. any help greatly appreciated. I never knew how hard it would be to try to keep a car running normal and looking nice.

Are they toggled on? I know I sometimes hit mine ...

If not, it sound like a ground issue.

Did you try turning them off by pushing on them? They are turned on/off by pushing on the lens. My son played with mine and did succeed in killing my battery. They override the timer.

Are they both on or just one? If there is only one on push the bottom right side of the lens with the door closed it should go off. I hope that's it. A nice, easy solution.
