does it still light up when you turn the 3 position switch on the roof to "OFF"?
I'm so far behind at work, I'm almost retro!

did you take the door off completely just to replace a speaker?

id be checking the little micro switch that the door presses on when closed... might be unplugged, or jammed/broken.

If the light is still on when the little switch is in the off position then the door shouldn't be affecting whats going on. I would be pulling the festoon lamp apart and making sure that the switch is mechanically in working order, the off position leads to a piece of plastic so there is no way that the light could be on if that part of the circuit is in working order.

the switch isnt on the door itself but at the base of the 'b' pillar,door press's it closed when shut. its got a oval shaped black rubber seal over it, and the switch is just a simple plunger type one, ie: in is off, out is on.
