Winnie,
If the maplight is wired correctly, it should switch
off when it is in a 'park' position. If you look at
the base of the light, there is a plastic insulator
in the detent position when it is placed in the
correct position. I don't recall which way the light
is oriented, but try several positions. This light
completes the ground when it is moved out of park.
The instrument dimmer won't have any effect on the
map light.
Cheers,
