It sounds like the latch is bad which has the switch inside of it.

Their is a switch on the lock assy. That controls the light. Someone may have used a slim jim to try to get in the car and has broken it off. You need to remove the door panel and inspect the lock assy. For a broken door ajar switch at the lock assy. The switch is black and has only 1 bolt hole in it and maybe hanging down or in the bottom of the door. It has 2 wires going to it.
