my door ajar and dome light will not go off. I cannot find a switch in the door. This used to happen once in a while after it rained but when it dried out it went out. I recently had the car washed and now it wont go off at all. I cannot drive at night because the interior light stays on and blinds me. It seems the switch is wet and I cannot find it to check.
