Either a wire is grounding or the dimmer wheel next to the light switch has worn loose. Did you check it? All the way up, past a little hump = interior lights on. If you normally keep it up against that hump, try lowering it a little (or all the way as a test). I've never heard of it happening before, but its a guess.

I feel stupid too.... I forgot about the hatch.

Wait...wouldn't that turn on the dash light that looks like an open trunk?
