Interior Light Problem

I have a 93 Explorer and the interior lights stay on all of the time. Anyone have any ideas? And does anyone know where the door switches are located?

Thanks

Can you turn them off using the dimmer switch at least?

That sounds like a relay problem and not a door switch maybe? Unless the dimmer switch didnt turn off the interior lights in 93. Not sure where the relay would be though.

Not sure when Ford started putting the door switches in the latch area.

If theres no button in the door jambs, try spraying the latch areas with WD-40. Open & close the doors to work it in.
