Default interior light question

Greetings.I was wondering if there is something i a missing.I bought a 1980 vette 2 weeks ago and found it to be missing a interior light bulb.So i got one put it in and now it will not shut off.I played with the door switch and the headlight dimmer switch and still could not get it to shut off.I have no manuals yet so i am thinking of replacing both switches.I am new to the world af corvettes and was wondering if there is anything i am missing. Thankx Richard

Common problem. There are the door switches to look at, make sure they make and break when the door opens anc closes. Then there is the timer behind the passenger side dash. Its an orange little box and might have died.
