Default Door Switch

Ok so i just bought a 1990 Lx and i noticed that none of my interior lights worked besides the dash light. So i come to find out the fuse is blown, cool. So after replacing it, i find that my dome and hatch light dont turn off. After fooling with the hatch door switch, i believe it isnt the one at fault. so finally i think its the passanger side, but a quick question that could possibly solve all this is, when you pull out the switch on the passanger side is there supposed to be 2 or 3 wires? because the driver side has three , a red one not on the passanger side. now the other two wires constantly have power but the red one only has power when the switch is depressed. on the passanger side, the two always have power. so am i missing the red wire on the passanger side, or is the switch the only thing at fault? Thanks for any info

Did you try turning the dimmer switch down? If the dimmer switch is fully engaged the interor lights will burn.

If it is the switch and what you described then the switch is bad. Im not sure how many wires are supposed to be coming from it.
