I am going to put toggle-switches in the wires to the dome-lights in our Dodges, so that the light can be turned off when the doors remain open.

To simply kill the light, until you get it fixed, there is a harness that goes under the carpet and seat, that you can un-plug under the dash.

I looked out at my Ford, one night, and the parking lights were on.

A couple of way-too-skinny wires, under the dash, had melted themselves together, giving 12-volts to the parking-lights.
