Default interior light staying on

My neighbor's '69 interior lights started staying on. Jiggling the headlight switch has no effect at all nor does press the door switches.
All other lights and electrics appear to work fine. Any ideas? Battery seems fine.

lights.

Think maybe the door switch is broken causing the connection all the time. I replaced my door switches doing my resto. It's amazing what thousands of openings and closings will do to a switch. After all yours are 37 years old.
