Rear Seat Courtesy light stays on all the time now

I can turn it off using the overhead switch but when I use to key fob to lock the car the rear light goes on and stays on. Has this happened to anyone?


Thanks

check to see if door pin/switch on pax door needs adjusting. i'm theorizing
that it isn't creating an "open" circuit when the door is closed, thus creating
the illusion that the door is open.

It was all my fault.

I was working on the door trim trying to get it off so I can get to a rattle. When I put everything back I did not put back the lock cover (because I wanted to get back in there later) which coincidentally happens to push against the door sensor pin . So, that 1/8 of an inch that this plastic adds is all it takes to make that sensor inoperable.
