Default Eg hatch light stays on!

My open hatch light will not go out. I make sure I slam it closed and its still on! I even pushed the lock closed maually w/ the hatch up to see if it wasn't catching and it still lights up. Anybody know what to do? Thanks

there is a complete circuit being made somewhere in your wiring. possibly in the switch or whatever. to make the circuit not complete, take out the bulb and then no problems!

i think my post came off wrong cycopath. i meant to say that if he cant find the reason the circuit is complete, he can always take the bulb out.

one of two things, you have a short in the ground side of the light.
OR the switch in the latch got bent somehow and is not opening when you close the hatch. (happened to me when I had to replace the latch and window due to thieves)
