inside each door jamb you will find a small plunger style button. on the back of it are 2 wires.
jump those 2 wires together with a paperclip or something similar and see if the light goes out.

Have you checked your dimmer switch that also doubles for your interior light switch?

Pull out the voltmeter I guess.. Maybe the easiest way is to connect the wires in the door switches (That would make the light switches go ON.. at least in a 67.. It's a plunger, but it makes continuitity when the plunger is out) so you take the door jamb switches out of the equation. Then test the light switch. If that checks out, I guess check each door jamb switch.
