Just to the right of your headlight switch on the dash there is a gauge lighting dimmer wheel switch . Check to see if that has been rotated all the way up , if it has that turns on all the interior lights when the doors are closed ( also , if you are getting a door ajar indicator light in your gauge cluster , either something is not shut properly or you have a sticking door ajar switch ) and , if you are referring to one of the map reading lights in the front overhead console , just try pushing the on / off button because the odd time they will turn on by themselves !
