Is the headlight switch turned all the way to the left so that the interior lights stay on?

Bad door switch, or bad courtesy timer module.

Cargo lights also have a path to ground through the hatch switch. Make sure the hatch is closed. If it's slightly open, the cargo lights will stay on. Otherwise, that switch probably needs to be replaced. Access by removing the release handle for the retractable cover and then remove the molding.
