2005 chevy classic maintenance ?

Question

I have a 2005 Chevrolet Classic. I've noticed that when the driver’s door is open, the dome light does not turn on, while the other doors activate it as expected. The dome light also comes on when I unlock the car with my key fob. The driver’s door is the only one causing this issue. What part do I need to replace to resolve this problem? I've seen conflicting answers suggesting it could be the door switch, which may be built into the latch, or the door jamb switch. I know it’s not a fuse issue since the other doors activate the dome light. Unfortunately, the manual does not provide any helpful information.

if there is no door jam ᴮᵁᵀᵀon switch in the door opening on the drivers side the switch is in the latch assembly. Keep in mind if your headlights have a timer for when you get out of the car the door switch also triggers the headlights to turn off. You might end up leaving the headlights on all night and drain the battery because of the bad drivers door switch.

Yes, your interior lights are activated via the door latch, inside the door.

It also could be a broken wire. Open the drivers door, and peel back insulating cover, near the hinges, where the wires are, and see if one or more are broken.

Fire the “parts cannon” and replace the door switch in the door jam.  No luck, you might have a bad wire or the new switch is broken.  Get a multimeter and check for continuity with the door open.
