Default Took car apart for paint... now interior lights wont go off

Hey guys i know this is more suited for the electronices section but im not getting any bites. since this situation stemmed from removing all my pieces to my car im hoping i can get some help here..

I recently removed all the pieces to my Camaro for paint ive now got it put back together but the problem is that the interior lights wont shut off even with the door closed and hatch as well. someone previously asked if the car does the chim with the door open and it does not any ideas?

make sure that the button/switch for the chime isn't depressed. if its depressed it will keep your lights on. i think its in the door jam on the F-body i can't be sure tho. On my s-10 it was a plastic peg that pushed it, i broke it off by accident and the lights wouldn't turn off.... i ended up pulling the fuse for a short time.... something to check. I'll check my car after work and snap a picture for you.

I remove the fuse for the interior lights when I'm working with the doors open for a long time.

for some reason i never changed the adjustment on the rear latching mechanism and when i was shutting it it looked flush but the lights wouldent go off and then i actually had to adjust it up some and problem fixed... plus im not proud of this but i looked on the dash and saw the hatch light saying it was open... said moment for myself
