Does the dome light turn on and off when you open and close the doors?

Or does the dome light stay on all the time until you turn it off with its
own switch?

Check those switches in the door jams that control this function.
Could just depress with finger and get lucky finding the bad one.
Otherwise remove from jam and inspect.

Since all doors and hatch are closed, my guess is one of the switches
is bad. When depressed the switch breaks the circuit.
