Default Map lights wont turn off

Had the car sitting for a while. Battery died. Went to jump it. Battery was no good. Replaced battery. Now the map lights wont turn off. Any idea what it could be? I pulled the fuse to get them to turn off for now. Also the radio, cluster, and who knows what else is fried. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sure your switches aren't turned on?

Check to be sure your doors and hatch are all closed fully. If they are then you could have a bad door switch someplace.

Nope. Its off. The lights just wont turn off. They remain on until either battery is dead or I unplug the fuse. Anyone else?
