Dome light issues

Hey guys, new to the forum and new to the neon. So far im loving it, just fixing a few small things here and there.
Ive got an issue with my dome light. The original owner told me that he took the bulb out because it wouldnt shut off. Initially i thought that he either couldnt find the off switch or that a door sensor switch was damaged.
Let me add that a light was reading FUSE. I went and put a bulb in the dome light and the FUSE light went away and the light would turn off when i got out of the car.
But i went into my car to mess with my next project and when i got out, the light wouldnt turn off
So i figure its my door sensors for sure at first..but when checking all of the door sensors, each of them made my "door open" light and milage turn off, but the domelight remains on. Could it still be a damaged sensor that needs to be replaced?
It gets better. So if im in the car and i turn the light switch to always on and then back down to regular setting, it shuts the light off. but when i open the door and close it again, the light will not turn off.![Icon Confused](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
any help is greatly apreciated!

that's why I became concerned.
Ill go in there and see if it will shut off after some time and ill also mess with the switch and see what I learn and report back.
Thanks for the speedy responses, I really apreciate it!

OK fellas, i feel a bit foolish now.
After a little bit of messing around, i figured out that if the car was recently running or the key was just turned to accesory, the light dims in seconds. But if the car has sat for a bit, it will then stay on for exactly 30 seconds and then it too dims.

I noticed recently on mine that if i just turn the car off and get out, it will stay on for only a few seconds. but if i turn the car off, turn the light to always on, turn the light off, and get out of the car, it will stay on about 1 min after I leave the car.
