Question Rear hatch light switch?

Would anyone know the type of switch used in the rear hatch and it's location? It appears it is some sort of gravity switch and mine needs replacing as the interior lights and dash door open light remain on. Is there any way to jumper it to get the lights off? I've already pulled the map light bulbs. Thanks for any help.

is it the three position switch like in my 05?
it can be on all the time, or off all the time or work with any of the doors being open.

This is the switch in the rear hatch, not the dome light. The switch functions so when the hatch/glass is opened, the lights, map lights and dome(if the switchis set on the dome light) go on. Also triggers the door open light in the instrument cluster.
