Two days ago I got in my car and the overhead light was on. (I have three overhead lights and this one has to be pushed on the right side to turn it on, and on the left side to turn it off.) Anyway I turn it off and think nothing of it.
Last night I made sure all of the lights were off before I went inside. I always lock my doors, and I am the only one with a set of keys. This morning when I go out to my car, the light is on again. I played with the switch a little to make sure it wasn't loose or broken... it wasn't.
This evening my husband and I go to papa johns to pick up a pizza. I am the first to get in the car and the light is on yet again... I explained what was happening to my husband and he said it was probably a glitch or malfunction. Anyway he goes into papa johns to get the pizza while I wait in the car. A few minutes later the switch clicks and the light turns on. There was nothing around me, and I wasn't even near it. It is turning on whether the car is on or not..

Your best bet is to put another switch to make sure it stays of or go to a car dealership to see if the is another problem.

Some cars have a a switch that leaves the interior light on for a few moments after you get out then shuts off, and if it is working backwards then this would happen, but it sounds like the switch you clicked off is malfunctioning.

Car Type & Years Would Help!
Good Auto-Electric Shop! Soungs Like you've Got a Short in the switch before you end up with a "Switch Melt Down" or at worst "Small Fire at Switch"

your car is haunted buy the interior light switching ghost
fortunately this ghost can easily be exorcised from the car buy removing the switch. the ghost will follow the switch to the bin.
