Open the door you should see the switch that makes the light come on when the door is open. there's a little screw in it. Take the switch out and figure out if the switch is faulty by pressing it in and seeing if the light goes off if the switch is bad then there's a clip in the back of it, just unplug the one that's bad and that should fix the light. Then next time you're at a junkyard pick another one up and then replace it.
