Courtesy lights

[64Belvedere]

So I'm putting the c pillar lights back in my 64 Belvedere 2 door Hardtop. Problem is that the light sockets seem to be live all the time. Doesn't matter what position the door pin or head light switch is in. I had the pin switches out last fall and cleaned, and tested them and they work as they should. Culd it be a bad headlight switch? Any ideas?

The single contact socket should have 12 volts all the time. The circuit completes when you open the door (s) and the pin switch grounds.

Yep. Thanks. New bulbs and a new door switch and she's good to go. Thanks.
