94 GT Convertable Dome Light


My car is a convertable... my dome light which is under the mirror, stays on. When I shut the car off it still stays on. The only way it comes off if i disconnect the battery. Anyone have any idea why, what can be causing it.

Thanks

Thanks!

If turning the headlight knob does not do it, the doorjamb switch might be stuck....

yeah Door was shut, I turn it till it did click, engine was off, keys was no in. I dunno, if it does click when I turn it back, can the switch actually be bad?

When can I get a switch for a good price?
Thanks
