Why is my 2002 Ford Ranger dome light staying on?

After work tonight, I parked my 2002 Ford Ranger in the driveway and went inside to make dinner. I looked outside later on and noticed the dome light was still on. I went out and tried everything I could think of to turn it off, but nothing worked. Do you have any tips on how to turn off my 2002 Ranger’s dome light?
