    I've recently noticed that when I open the door, or use the keyless entry system to enter the vehicle, the overhead interior light (NOT the map light) does not light up. It lights up fine when I move the toggle switch to the right into the "ON" position. But, it does not light up in the "DOOR" position as I open the door.

    The bulb appears to be working fine, since it lights up in the ON position. I've tried opening all the doors, one at a time, to see if it lights up, but it doesn't.

    Ideas?

    My guess is a bad switch, since it works in one position and not another.
