dome doesnt turn on with driver door

[funkingonutz]

1995 XLT 5speed 4x4

my dome light does'nt turn on when the driver door handle is pulled, or when the door is opened, the other side works fine, its just annoying getting into a dark truck late at night, can someone help me out here.
i have a friend that had a 1998 XLT and he noticed it the other day and said it was "a ranger thing"
i dont even know where to start looking....

The door light switch is in the latch on that year, mine sometimes sticks ON and the dome light will stay on longer. You may have to lubricated it or remove it (latch) and try to work the switch to see if it stuck in the closed (light off) position. That is the only thing I can think of off hand . . .
