Check both of your door locks. Make sure that they are both straight up and down. Just put your key in and turn it back and forth until you think that they are straght. I had this happen to my 93. As soon as I did this the lights have not stayed on.

To make things clear, I just timed how long my lights stay on. I opened door, lights inside car came on, closed door, lights stil on, eight (8) min later, lights still on. Got cold and went home lights were still on. I remember when driving, lights stayed on for 15 or more mins. Any advise, is there another switch or something. I need real help with this.

its either the light switch in the hatch or you got a bad door switch, the door switches in these cars are really the worst parts on them, i had a 93' that i put 4 switches in before i got a good one and they were gm parts, not knockoffs.

I am having this problem intermitantky right now... I think it is the CCM which has the interior light timer built into it.
Do your doors lock when you put it into gear and drive (autos only)?
Do you interior lights stay on when driving?
The 8 min time out is a default meaning the comutor thinks you left them on and shuts them off for you... so you deffinatly have a problem. You will need to pull codes... contact BOGUS he has a diagnosis Tech Tip that may help you.

Good advice
I was having the same problem with my '93 when I first purchased it. I could drive ten miles and the lights would stay on, other times even longer.
I found that when I purchased a PKE remote for the car and stopped manually locking the doors the problem went away. Not had any problems since, that was over eight months ago.
