My rear Dome light is staying on all the time but the front overhead lights in the front of the cab work fine. I took the rear light down and tested the switch and it seams to work fine. There is power getting to the rear dome light some how? Doors are shut and the front domes are off, open any door (4 door mega cab) and the front cab lights turn on as expected. The fronts also dim OK and turn on and off with a push. The only issue is the rear is always on? Any ideas?

Is there a switch / push on-off switch somewhere? Usually the rear dome has a way for rear passenger to turn on / off independent from the front. Does it work properly when operated from the interior light dimmer?

I have seen bad grounds cause power to backfeed through other devices on the common feed line to find a good ground..

The rear dome light has a push on/off switch built into the assembly on one end.
