Maybe the switch is bad? Or wiring to it?

Thanks to everyone and the responses, I've been going through the Helm manual and it also appears it can be the endgate window switch too so I have that and all the door switches and dimmer to check

Re: Dome lamp always on

Wasn't the door switches but that helped me find the problem since I had to remove the lower dashboard panel to get to the switch. there is a interior lamps control module on that panel the is suppose to leave the dome lamp on for 30 seconds after you close the door, I diconnected it teh the dome lamp goes off as soon as the door is closed


Thanks for everyone's help

I had the same problem. I went to the dealership and bought a new plunger switch($6) and problem fixed.
