What is your question?
Since I purchased my corolla, I have experienced problems overnight in extremely cold weather. Although my headlights a turned to off, they come on automatically in freezing temperatures and drain my battery through the night. I do not have the luxury of parking in a garage. There have been times that I have to jump start my car every morning before work. I've had the battery cleaned and a brand new one installed. My guess is it is electrically related in the interior off switch. I've taken the vehicle in without a mechanic being able to diagnose the problem. Once jumped and started, the problem seems to dissolve until the next night.

I have exact same problem with my 2003 Corolla, bough it last summer and had no issues until winter started. One night as I was laying in my bedroom, whole room light up as if someone puled in my driveway. Got up to check it out and saw my corolla lights on, took a while to figure out how to turn them off since light switch was already in off position. I ended up starting car then turning lights on and off few times until they finally stayed off. Last two times I did not catch lights coming on so ended up with dead battery next morning. Mine is all good once jump started as well and it does not necessary do the same thing next night but maybe week or so later when temperature dips down it does it again. I am not sure if there is only one fuse that controls auto lights but if I can remove it that light should never come on automatically when switch is in off position
I have never found a resolution other than to park it in the garage. I was told after explaining it over and over that it may be an overall electrical wiring problem with the model since the on/off switch itself seems to work any other time. I don't know but, its very odd. Since it is electrical, it would more than likely cost more than the vehicle is worth to fix.
