Default 86 Vert Map light stays on

The map light on the vert is located on the rear view mirror. Stays on no matter which position the switch is.

Turns off with the key thank god. Just irritating.

Do you know how it is meant to work? My '92 has a light on the underside of the mirror that is, IIRC, always on when the key is on. I think they called it a "floodlight" or suchlike. I also tried to shut it off, but couldn't. The owner's manual, again, IIRC, says this is correct.

I don't have a manual to check but I think I would have noticed it driving at night before.

Thanks sailorsteve

You can pop out the light and switch and test the switch.
Here is a pic from when I hard wired my radar detector, should give you an idea what your dealing with.
