2006 Rabbit interior light

My 2006 Rabbit interior light no longer comes on when the front door is
opened. The lights still work when the three position toggle switch is
turned to 'on'. The door switch still changes the display on the dash when
opened.
Any ideas? Is there a timer/relay somewhere that might be bad??

There may be many problem areas, but keep in mind that the switch may
have two sets of contacts: one for the dash features, and one for the
light. The two areas I suspect first off are the door switch, and the
three way switch in the fixture. Both can cause what you are seeing.

Driver door lock assembly. Goes bad all the time. You should also notice the
key in ignition with door open chime and the headlights left on with door
open chime no longer work.

Thanks for the reply. The door switch seems logical so I thought I'd check
it, but I cannot even find it! Any clues where it is or how to check? Any
recommendations on a good manual?
Same goes for how to get at the three-way switch.

Thanks for the reply. The door open and the key in ignition chime still do
work.
