You might like to check the headlights switch.
Around the outer edge of the headlight/parklight rotary switch, there is another 'slider' type dimmer switch that controls both the instrument lights brightness AND (at full rotation) turns on the overhead light!

Check that it's not selected to overhead light on, which will keep that light on without fadeout!

Cheers

Oops, just beat me to it!

Does it ever turn off? If its a door, it should go out after 15mins as the BEM will turn it off.
