map lights won't turn off

Why won't the map lights turn off? I figured the dome light and map lights are on the same circuit but the dome light works fine. I am not sure if this is the cause of my no start issue but my batteries have drained to 12.1v. I would think the truck would still crank at 12v but it doesn't have enough. Could the batteries both have a dead cell.

'98 12v auto.

You know you can turn them on manually, right? First try and turn them off manually by pushing up on them, the switch breaks on them, might be broken as well.
