Hello team!
I have this issue in my 90, where when I get in or out, the interior lights stay on for 10-15 minutes (however long the relay timer is).
I know it?s not the hatch, because it has no timer, and the lights would stay on indefinitely if it was the hatch.
Is there a common place where I can start to look to fix this?
Where can I start this diag?

Sounds normal, takes 10 min or so for the computer to shut off the lights, so what are you trying to fix? Do the lights go out if you turn on or start the car?
I found this thread on the corvetteactioncenter forum, read the first response.
There are also numerous threads on the Corvette Forum about the interior light delay.

Door switch agree. You and and a friend with doors open push them in and lights will go off. What happens is the switches get shorter over the years. I build them up with JB weld and all is well again. Or you can tape nickels to the door jamb for a temp fix. They are available at corvette central for around 35 bucks.

On your door ajar switch, try pulling this plastic plunger out a bit. If it's pushed in, it won't make contact with the door jam to shut off the lights. I think it will slide out about 3/4" or 1", then shut the door.
