Dome light

I bought my truck a couple years ago, and the dome light was out. Sadly enough I am just now taking a look at it. I found that the fuse is missing in the fuse panel; when I replace it, the light is on all the time. What would cause this? My guess is either the switch on the light or whatever limit switch tells the truck that the doors are open/shut? Any thoughts?

What year is it? It could be a bad door switch, or a GEM (Generic Electronic Module), which controls the lights.
