Courtesy lights stay on.

[waymaster]

I have a 1992 Bonneville SE, when I close the door the courtesy lights come on and stay on. I have to slam the door a few times to get them to shut off. Sometimes they come on in the middle of the night after the the doors have been shut a couple of hours. Any suggestions?

It appears that the door switch(that tells the control module that the door is closed) is on the verge of being defective. That's just a guess.

I would agree. Your door switch just provides a ground for the light circuit. Likely the plunger is worn or the spring inside is broken, allowing the switch to find a ground when it shouln't. Those switches are cheap and very easy to change.
