78 F-150 Overhead Courtesy Light

My overhead courtesy light was not working . I replaced both door jamb switchs and put in a new 15A fuse and the light works now.The only thing is that it does not come on when I open the drivers door. I can turn it on by using the headlight switch. Isn't the light supposed to come on when I open either door?

Maybe the plunger switch in the front part door frame is unhooked or faulty or needs cleaning.

They do go bad after a while.
