Default No switch for interior lights?

I have a 95 Cherokee Sport and I've been wondering for months if there is a switch for the interior lights? The only way I can get them to come on is by opening the door. This is really frustrating as I am a delivery driver and need the lights to read phone numbers on receipts at night. I was wondering if there is some mystery switch I'm missing or if anybody has come up with a solution by adding a switch?

I've actually tried that and I thought that it should turn them on, but the only thing that the **** does is dim the dash lights.

It does click into a spot which I thought should be the lights, I've noticed that since I got it a few months ago, but they don't come on, I figured maybe it was just a locking position for the brightest dash setting.

nope, that should be it... might want to take a look at the wiring on the back of switch, previous owner(s) may have undone stuff or tried doing there own thing...
