not go off after checking the doors

If the door ajar light was not on I'd suspect the BCM (Body Control Module). The BCM controls the interior lights and is supposed to shut down any lights that are left on after ten minutes of inactivity. This includes leaving a door or trunk lid open, like if you're cleaning the car, for example. Hope that helps! Jim
