Angry interior lights flashing

My '97 interior/cargo lights will turn on and off after I shut it off! Sometimes quickly, and other times the lights will just stay on! It has killed my battery once so far! Is this the multifunction switch too! I have been told it could be because of the trailer wiring harness or the door switch!

Is the door ajar light coming on at the same time? If so, 99% chance that it's a sticky door switch. The switch is part of the door latch system mounted into the side of the door. give BOTH door latches a liberal dousing with WD-40 and cycle the doors several times.
