Help! I have a 1998 dodge dakota v8 318 4x4 CC

My interior dome light is stuck on, the only thing i can do to turn it off is pull the fuse (which kills radio too)
ive removed headlight switch,pulled battry terminals for about 5 mins, checked the alarm connections and even disabled by pulling fuse....i cant seem to figure it out

Also i wanted to check the dorrjamb pins but cant seem to get at them when i remove the kick plate, theres plastic underneath, but the pin itself looks like it might be able to come out of its plastic ring..any ideas how to remove this?

And has anyone else encountered this problem?

I had this problem when I had my Ford Ranger. The switch on the ranger was integrated into the latch on the door... dirt would get in there and cause it to stick. A few shots of WD-40 into the latch area took care of the problem. I don't know if Dodge used a similar system on the 98 Daks or not. Hope this helps!
