Cargo light question

When I turn on the cargo light it also turns on the dome light. I don't remember it doing this before. Is this normal?

Does anyone have a diagram of this circuit? If it is normal I want to find a way to separate the lights.

Whenever I have seen a cargo light on the dome light was on also. Also, when the door is opened, they both came on.

well all the ones i have seen are 2 seperate circuits. but the way the contacts are setup in the switch it is possible for them to form one circuit.the contacts can corrode and make contact with each other all the wires from both circuits go into the switch the. the dome light wire is black and blue the cargo is brown and black.

Thanks, I will take a look at that. I do a lot of night fishing on our pond and sometimes need the cargo light but don't want the dome on. I have been taking the bulb out.
