i think there is a switch in the door jam...toward the front fenders
..and...what heppened to mine...the white press in switch in the hatch got bent a little and mine always stayed on....its right in there by the latch...just press it with the hatch open and see if they all shut off (the dome light and the hatch light)
also could be the dimmer switch...but i dont know the diagnostics of one of those very well......
when you move the dimmer.....is it real easy to move...is there a little resistance (there should be)
Agreed. It's quick to check the door pin switch. I used a socket to remove mine. there's one wire on the back. Unplug the wire (keep it from touching ground) and see if the light goes off. Do the same on the other door. If not, think dimmer.
I had a bud with the same problem. He ended up taking the bulb out. One day I was chillin at his house and we decided to try and fix it. He had the switch turned on . We both got a good laugh at that one considering how long he dealt with no dome light.
