WD40 to all the lock mechanisms. Mine had the same problem and a year later all is still good. Something in there hangs up and acts like a door is left open.

Not to say that you are an idiot, but you did check the dimmer switch on the headlight control module correct? Kids, cleaning, etc can roll that up into the ON position. My kids have done that to me before.

ok so here it is iam not driving it so all the doors are apart and ever switch is on hooked, so the door switches dont matter, again there all on hooked. the dimmer switch on hooked, turn the key on the lights come on and stay on till the timer runs out, but the worst part is the indicator for the door on the dash says there is a door open, no switches hooked up no dimmer switch, the next is a short in one of the doors or the timer is bad any body ever scene anything like this before.

I had a similar issue for a year. Finally used the brutal force method.
