Interior light problem

Here's the problem. When I close any door, the interior lights stay on. If I then lock it with remote, then the lights go off. The go off when I start the EX. The switches seem fine since the lights go off with a remote and lights go on when opening any door.. They just won't go out unless a remote is used or engine started. I've searched and found no answers. I don't know what else to check.

Does is stay on forever? My Ex will keep the running board and other lights on for up to 15 minutes before finally going off.

It probably does. I was doing something on it one time and then went in my garage for easily longer than 15 minutes and they were still on. I might have to time it to see for sure if stays on longer 15 minutes.

I have read about the door latches having a little white button that can fail or be gummed up causing this issue through lack of contact, but here's a couple diagrams anyway. Somewhere there has to be a time-out module or relay controlling this.
