The BCM (and other control modules) uses solid-state devices (eg, transistors) to control power to lights and other items. These devices don't turn all the way off. LostSol's idea of putting a resistor in series with the LED should work (there will still be some leakage but it should drop below the threshold of the LED) but may affect the brightness of the LED when it is on. Make sure the resistor(s) have a power rating large enough to handle the load and are mounted where they can safely dissipate heat.
