My door key stuck in the unlock position. Drove it and parked it but when I tried to start it the battery was dead because the interior lights stayed on. Removed handle and took it to locksmith where he told me the problem is the dust cover in the cylinder had popped up. He fixed that and now the key works great. The problem is the interior lights still stay on. If I unplug the theft deterrent door lock switch the lights go off but the alarm goes on when I unlock the door. Any ideas?

One other thing. When I pulled the courtesy light fuse so my battery wouldn't be drained the lights all went out but three days later when I tried to start it, after I got the fixed door lock cylinder in, the battery was dead.
