drivers side door and dome light

another one for today,

open the drivers side door, all the buzzers come on ect as normal. BUT the dome light wont come on.

open the passenger door, and the dome light works as it should.

the drivers door switch MAY be aftermarket i'll need to take a closer look, but it works or the 'keys/brake' advisories wouldnt be coming on when i open it....

strange.

Pull the switch off the door jamb, check the wiring on the rear of the switch. had the same trouble on mine.

thanks Vinny, exactly what it was. poor switch or poor ground, cleaned it up, oiled it and now it works 99% of the time, may need to get a new switch down the road.
