Haha Mine did this too! Fakin annoying huh? No one knew how to fix it, so I just took the light bulbs out of the cluster (the door open/seat belt lights) and I took the beeping unit out, if anyone might know now id like to know too!

Try doing a parasitic draw test. Hook an ammeter in series between the negative battery cable and the battery terminal. With all the doors closed and key off there should be a very small reading. The smaller the number the better. If you're draining your battery overnight it has to be drawing quite a bit. I've found that most cars will draw anywhere from 1mA to 250mA without hurting anything. Just keep pulling fuses and unplugging things until the number drops and you've found the problem(s)
