You can go to google groups and do a search on others with your problem, they have been discussed here, time to time.
Diagnosing this requires a basic electrical understanding. Find a friend or co-worker, if you're not up to working with a meter, and test light.
But first look for a light that burns despite it should be off. and Try disconnecting alternator power lead{s} overnight.
