There is a push button inside each door jam, under the hinge that turns off the done light when you press it in. Use a socket to remove it and take it to the junk yard. Dozens of fords used the same dome light switch.

My 86 had a rubber cover over the switch, which made the switch hard to see. I had this same problem, because the switch actually pushed through the panel and wouldn't disconnect when the door closed. I'd check the drivers side first, since it gets used more....
