LOL, may sound rude but you still gotta ask.

The only thing that I could think of is possibly the the switch in the door jamb. I'm not sure exactly how it works though. But that would be the switch that turns the lights on when you open the door and then when the door is closed it will allow them to turn off. I would look into that. In the meantime, I would pull that fuse so you don't drain your battery.

There's a timer/relay in the passenger fuse box that is supposed to shut the lights off after x number of minutes (mine go off in 15 min - tested when I worked on a door panel to remove a speaker). Maybe it is "stuck." Also, the key fob, when you hit "lock" should turn them off immediately. If not, it may be that relay.
