If you just want to replace the dome lights the clear buttons on the console can be removed carefully, The buttons will snap out from the console and the bulbs will be underneath.
If the headlight switch is turned fully to one side, it will keep the interior light on. Some models have the feature in the overhead light, that allows for 3 positions to be set. Position one lights the dome light when the door is opened. Position two keeps the Domelight on regardless of the door. Position three is the always off setting.
If the problem is not in the headlight switch or the Domelight settings, then check your rear Cargo door. Some even have a separate switch to turn on the interior light from the Cargo area so you can see what you are unloading.
If you find that none of the above solutions work, then you must have a doorjam switch that has come apart inside the doorjam. These are a bit more difficult to find because each must be removed without losing the wiring in a hidden area. But start with the Drivers door as it gets the most wear.
He could try to unsnap the light lens and remove the bulb. If you have underdash or door lights it may provide at least some lighting and you could do without the Dome light.
The front dome lamp & map lamps are replaced from the back, they are 1/4 turn bulb holders.
The overhead console ( non rail ) is held on with spring clips. Open the rear compartment, and in each corner grab the console with your thumb and index finger and pull down. The 1st time you remove it, it is very hard to pull down, the springs are very stiff.
The rail system, the service manual says to pull the overhead bins 1st, then pull the consoles out ( also spring clips )
The dome lamp has a switch that can be put into several positions. "Door" "Off" and "On" If you want the light to come on when you open the door then you must have the switch in the "Door" position.
The "Off" position will only let the dome lamp work when you override it with the dash control and the "On" position will leave the light on at all times - door open or not.

2. Insert a flat headscrewdriver into the edge of the map light plastic cover.
3. Pry the cover off until itpops out of place.
4. Locate the two screws on theinside of the light mount and remove them with the screwdriver.
5. Remove the plastic domelight fixture to access the connector attached to the bulb.
6. Detach the connector fromthe dome light bulb. The dome light fixture can now be removed. Hope this is what you are searching..
If there are no screws in the dome lens or base of the light, use a small screwdriver or a plastic trim tool (better) to remove the lens by prying it gently. If you are looking to remove the whole light, you can get a little more vigorous in prying the base of the light away from the attach point.
