Last week my dome light wasn't coming on for 15 sec. after I opened the doors. Today I couldn't get it to go off for 30 sec. after I closed the doors. Any ideas?

Spray some WD40 onto the latch of the door. Sounds like you got a switch gunked up.

Where's the switch, I looked early this a.m. but it was dark and couldn't see? It didn't appear to be easily visible, is it inside that black rubber "hose"? Thanks!

The door pin switches are located directly under the door latches. The pins get all kinds of grit and grease on them and won't pop back up when you close the door. WD-40 may work temporarily. I would take the swithes out and give them a good cleaning with some alcohol or electrical cleaner.
