I'm guessing the switch in the door jam is bad...if the light turns on by the dash switch, you have power.

its inside the door jam, front of the door. its white. when you open thedoor it pops out and that makes the light work. it can get stuck though.

Most likely some contacs need to be cleaned. My passenger side lock switch didng work and I took out the assembly and scratched the copper contacts a little bit and it worked like a charm.

the thing that sticks out of the door pops out when you open the door on both sides of the car. it feels like it has a spring that pushes it out when u open the door. thats the only thing i found. is that the right one?
