87 420 Defroster Switch Shows ON All The Time

On my 87 420, the rear window defroster switch is lit up (as though the defroster is ON) all the time. I changed/pulled the fuses and even pulled the relay and the switch is still on all the time. When I flip the switch on and off, the interior lights dim very slightly so it seems the switch is functional turning the defroster on and off but I just can't get the bright "your rear defroster is on" indication to go off. Does this sound like a bad switch or a short somewhere else?

Thanks,

John

Sounds like it has something to do with the switch itself... in relation to turning the bulb off and on. I'd open things up and have a look.
