the interior light switch is mounted on the A post....

I think you mean the central locking switch.... i'm sure there is a clip to hold it on... no pictures available!

If there's a fully fitted interior light delay unit, then there will be a switch on the handle related to the interior lights, but I expect, as Mark says, it's the deadlock microswitch.
The bracket for this is held by the same big C clip that holds the lock in place, and the microswitch is held in place on the bracket by another spring clip.
