Interior Lights Are Staying On!!

[toofun]

My interior lights always worked flawlessly. Yesterday I got my front end aligned. When I got the car back, I noticed (after about two hours of driving) that my interior lights were on. I have a convertible and the top was down so it was hard to see at first until I got into the garage. I double checked the door switches by pressing them in by hand and also made sure the headlight switch was not in the on position for the interior lights. Could it be a bad ground? One of the door switches? How do I check the switches and how do they work? Also where should I start to look for a ground problem? Not very electrically inclined so baby steps would be appreciated. For now I have disconnected the two bulbs under the dash and the console ash tray light bulb(that sucker gets wicked hot!!!)

Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance

check the earth wire in the light, if its making contact that would keep it on, then check the doors by removing the wires, if they stay on then check the switch.

I had the exact problem on my 69 vert. I found the wire from the passenger door switch, insulation rubbed off about 6" from the switch, and grounding out.
