dome light stays on

I noticed yesterday while driving down the highway my dome light was on. Both doors were shut and the switch was off but it remained on. I took the bulb out to prevent it from killing the battery. Only thing I saw was the switch on the pass door was stuck closed (pushed in) and when I pulled it out or wiggled it the light flickered. Does it sound like it could be the switch? Everything else works fine

Welcome to FTE.

IF not the light switch on the dash that manually turns on the dome light, it might be a door switch.

Open both doors, the light should be on.
Close one door the light should be on.
Close the second door the light should be off.

Play with one door switch to determine the one that is bad.

This is dependent on the light switch on the dash not being the culprit.

Thanks. I'll look into it a bit more. I've got to get a new door switch anyway since this one is stuck.
