I have the same issue, my passenger door lamp is always on after doing an LED swap...and I remember accidentally shorting the two pins when removing the old bulb with a flat-head screw driver so I know when and why it occurred.

My car is a 2013 and I'm at 50k miles so I am out of warranty as far as I know. At a cost of ~$400 for a new unit, I am going to remove the bulb on both sides and live without both door lights.

Actually, when I have some time I may re-wire them. The switch in the door jam can be used as a switch to turn the light on and off, eliminating the BIU. I'm pretty sure when the door opens, that door switch creates a ground. I wonder if there are any side affects associated with this issue, or if it is limited to only the light being on all the time.
