Default 2004 Durango Interior Lights staying on

Just this past week, my lights started staying on. It started that once I got on the road, I could turn each off individually by their manual switch. But now, they just stay on. They all go out except the rear hatch light when the battery saver mode kicks in 8 minutes later. I have checked all doors to make sure they are closed. Tried each and every position on the roller switch to no avail. I know its probably something stupid, but is driving me nuts especially at night.

Any suggestions? I've looked, but can't locate the door open/ closed contacts to see if they are dirty or something?

Any help for this newbie would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I have the exact same problem with my 2004. What's the fix? It's sitting in the parking lot at work with the battery cables off right now.

I just got word from the dealer. Instrument cluster needs replaced! Don't make sense to me, but the cluster controls the interior lights. $600 part too! My vehilce has to stay parked until the part comes in because of the odometer reading. Things were much simpler when I had my 68 Camaro. The darn thing never broke down and if the interior light stayed on it was because the switch was left on or the door was open, not because it had a low tire.[:'(]

Exact same solution for me too. Thankfully covered by warranty!!!!! Seems like it might be a potential recall issue as I have heard from a few other forums of similar problems.
