Need help with 92 Firebird lights / door switches

I have a 92 Firebird. Last weekend the map and dome light started staying on even with the doors closed. I checked the door jamb switches and they look ok. Is there a relay that could have gone out? If so, where is it located? Any help is appreciated.

The door jamb switches connect the negative for the lights - take a volt/ohm meter and see if the wire from them (behind the kick panel) is grounded with the door closed - maybe it's touching somewhere between the door and the light.

Be sure and check the dimmer to see if it is dialed up all the way.
