I have checked both door switches and the dash light dimmer.  The courtesy light will stay on until the battery dies.  I have removed the bulb but that is not acceptable.

 What else should I look for?

 My pickup is a '94 B-300, 4X4 extented cab with a stick shift.  The courtesy light does not have the "Map Light" option.

Can anyone help?

The dimmer and door switches may look ok, but that's what it sounds like the problem is.  The courtesy light is just like a light in your house.  It doesn't have anything more then wires coming into it and connecting to copper plates that hold the bulb.  It'll only BE on when the switch is TURNED on.  Try going to a junk yard and snagging a dimmer switch and door switch out of a trashed one.  If neither of those solve your problem, then trace the wires as far as you can. There may be a pinch point where one of the wires is exposed and touching something to compleat the circut.
