I'm not sure I totally understand your issue with the cluster lights keep lighting up? My '98 Blazer has automatic headlamps, and if the sensor on the dash detects that it is dark enough outside, it will trigger the instrument cluster lamps, and rest of the lights (head lamps, etc.) to turn on.

Any possibility that the automatic headlamps are kicking on? I'd have to check the book to see, but X amount of seconds has to pass before it will kick them back off or on.

Other than that, I'm not sure I'm understanding what you are saying.
