Dome light works in ON position. Just recently it has ceased working when on DOOR position, even when all doors are open. Switches appear free. Dome switch movement appears normal.

HI there, you will need to check that power is passing through the toggle switch in the dome light on the door position, i have seen many that are just a poor connection, it's just a rubbish switch that they use, sometimes a bit of emery over the contacts work.
