This happens when I get in the car and close the drivers door. Does not happen every time.

When the light stays on, opening and closing the door doesn't shut it off. It goes off when it feels like it, sometimes while driving. I had to remove the dome light bulbs so I can drive at night. Can't find any switches around the door frames. Are they inside the door?
Thanks for any help. Dick
