Hi Everyone,
A new problem for me, without any prior symptoms the interior light remains ON, I've checked the door and tailgate switches and they appear to be functioning as they should, I've also checked and cleaned the inside of the switch housing on the mirror mounting. Problem remains. Is there a control module somewhere that may be causing the problem? I am no electrical wizard at all, but I know a man who can understand auto electrics if we just had some idea of what we are looking for?
Any suggestions will be most welcome, and thanks in advance.

Have you opened up the door switches beyond just pushing the outer rubber bits?

Had the same problem with one of our Jimnys and the opposite as in wouldn't come on!
Try a few layers of tape where the switch plunger meets the door jam when closed , if after a few layers it goes out , th switch hadps gone past its housing , either replace switch or leave tape .

No, I'm reluctant to start pulling stuff to bits just to eyeball it. If there is something specific to look for then I'll go ahead, but with my electrical expertise I''m no better than a sightless person.

The door switches connect a wire to the frame. When the door is closed, the the wire is disconnected. I would disassemble the switch in the drivers door first an check if, when closed the wire is disconnected.
