Lights won't go out

The interior and bed lights on my 1999, f250, 7.3 diesel, extended cab truck won't go out. If I could figure out how to get into the door jamb where the switch is located, I might be able to change out the switch. There are two rivet like fasteners that hold the switch plate in place. I don't think I have a tool that operates them. Any suggestions would help. Thank you.

Is the dimmer switchturned all the way up? If its clicked on, the interior lights will stay on. Simple but its happened before.

If all else fails a claw hammer will do the job.

You're a genius or at least I think so. I don't know how the dimmer switch got turned all the way up but it did. They went out. Thank you.
