Front door switch on 2002?

where is the front door switch on the 2002 SD?
My dome light doesn't come on when the door is opened on that one side?
I'd like to get in there and see if it just came up plugged or if the switched needs replaced.
thanks
Bob

The dome light switch is in the door handle.

So then how does it switch off when the door is closed? Is it in the handle or the latch?

first try spraying some wd-40 on the latching mech. there have been a few posts in the past from guys with their lights staying on.... and it happened to me personally. spraying the latch with some wd-40 and cleaning it out pretty good did the trick for me. i'd be willing to bet thats your problem also.
