For the last couple of months the dome light and the lights under the steering column and glove box have refused to turn off even while driving. Now whenever I turn the car off at night I disconnect the battery cause the light remain on throught the night otherwise. Anyone have any idea what I can do or what I can check to fix the problem?

what kind of car. some cars have a "time control unit" that controls the interior lights. they go bad from time to time.

start pulling individual fuses untill they go out. then find out if that fuse is part of the interior light circuit or another circuit that is shorted to the interior lights. if that gets you nowhere then look up under the dash for some black plastic boxes. if you have a time control unit it will be under there. unplug them one by one and see if that fixes it. that could narrow your prob down considerably.
