Rear dome light gremlins.
My rear gate and back seat dome light have constant power going to them regardless of key or door position. I had to remove the bulbs and bought it like this. The front overhead turns off/on as well as dims off as it should. Fuses are good and I have no other electrical issues. (knock on wood) Any advice? I searched quite a bit and have yet to come across a similar issue.
