voltage leak, overhead light, any ideas where to start?

Recently my swapped to LED (months ago, so I doubt it caused this) overhead light has started not turning completely off once the door was closed. I suspect a voltage leak and/or bad ground. Any ideas where to start?

The overhead light works when the door switch grounds out and off when the ground is broken. Sounds like a grounding issue to me. I would pull the door post switches and see if one went bad.

Clean them. They always go bad. I delete my interior lights because I am so fed up with them (disconnect the door switches).

Ground issues reveal themselves quickly with LEDs because such little current is required to drive them. Fortunately the wiring is as simple as it gets and most issues can be solved with a Power Probe.
