Might try closing all doors, then open one at a time and manually depress the switches. Feel them for "click" feeling and see if by depressing fully you can make the light go out. Remember also that you have a switch which turns the lights to on even with all doors closed. And also, the driver's door sees the most use so that switch is the most likely to fail, plus those hinges wear causing the door to not close as well.

Door ajar light stays on as well as interior lights when all doors are closed

Most vehicle door open light works by a spring loaded contact switch. The switch body acts as ground. when the door is closed the switch depress disconnecting positive from ground. Seems that one of your door switch may be bad. Look for a rubber covered sitch on the door jam you should be able to remove the rubber cover to access the switch for a good inspection.
