81 300cd rear dome light will not go out

it seems all things electrical are preventing me from getting 300cd to be daily driver.

pulled center console tracking down electric window(s) problem. when i got everything put back together, rear dome light would not go out...

tried slamming doors, tinkering with forward dome light switch and nothing.
i've pulled the bulb to save the battery. what is going on? help is needed.

Thanks.

You have tried the obvious: the rear dome light switch in the console?

If it's turned off but still illuminates, then pull the switch from the harness; if it stays lit, then you've probably pinched the harness.

IIRC, there is no connection in the coupe between the door switches or the front dome light and the rear dome light. It's all on its own.
