Has it done this since you got the truck, or is it a recent development?

I have the same problem.
When all the doors are closed...sometime the light stays on, but then again, sometimes it doesn't My ranger is temperamental.

Maybe the dimmer switch is shot? I guess you could always tap a switch into the wiring and just keep it off until you need the light.
