Foot light issues

Hello

I have been having this weird issue with my back doors foot lights.
When i unlock the car and open the doors all foot lights works but after a minute the back doors foot lights stops working.
Also noticed that when i drive the back doors foot lights stays on and can be only turned off when u switch the headlights switch to off.
This is very wried anyone has a solution??

Verify that the foot light isn't connected incorrectly to the ambient light wire...my guess is that someone had the door cards off at one point and mixed up the door pocket ambient light and the foot light connectors...they aren't technically interchangeable, but.....
