Kate -
Can't help with the material, but why/how is the light on? There is a safety switch to turn off all power to the rear shell, including the lights, when the TM is folded down. I'm not sure when the switch was added, but I know that my 2002 TM had it. It appears as a silver button on the upper edge of the rear bathroom wall, just above the tub. When the bathroom's big rear wall is raised, it pushes this silver button, which in turn supplies power to the rear shell. When the bathroom big wall is dropped down into travel position, the silver button is released and all power to the rear shell is cut off.
Do you have this switch?
TM added the switch for exacly the situation you describe. Even if you turn off the light before folding, the slight wiggling of the shells as you drive can turn it back on again.
