Problem after battery relocation

I relocated my battery to the trunk a few weeks ago and everything was fine. I went out to start the car today and the battery was dead so i figured that there must be a drain on it. I noticed after that my little guy was in the car and had turned on the auxiliry fan switch. I assumed this had drained the battery. I charged it up and went for a ride around the block and let it idle for awhile to charge the battery. I was getting 14+ volts at the battery while at idle so i know the charging system is functioning. I went out tonight and noticed that the 2 reading lamps in the mirror were on. I assumed my little guy had turned them on as well..He likes to pick...lol..I open the car door and turned them off but they stayed on..i turned both switchs to both places and it didn't matter which position they were in the lamps were still lit...The only way i could get them to go out was unhook the battery.....Any ideas on this one?

Here is the link i used for the battery relocation

Try the little wheel switch thingy that is used to dim/brighten the dash lights. If you turn it all the way up it'll click and turn your interior lights on-including the ones on the mirror. Hope that's it.
