As others have said, it’s likely the switch. You could take the switch out and take one of the wires loose from the switch. That would turn the light off. If that doesn’t turn the light off, somehow voltage is getting to the light from another source. But, start with the switch. 12 volts won’t shock you even though you might see a little spark when you break the connection. If you are worried, pull the fuse on the circuit while you are working on it. Until you get a new switch, tape up the naked end of the wire, or put a wire nut on it to keep it from touching anything that might conduct to the frame, and blow your fuse. It might seem like 12 volt switches should last longer than 120 vac, but the DC current is much harder to switch, thus switches don’t last as long. Good luck.
