Check that the driver’s door switch is not corroded.
The switch is usually found behind a rubber boot in the door frame. You can push it in and out by hand and check if it seems to mechanically function OK. Some door switches rely on a rubber bung in the door to push them in when the door is closed

Once you have removed the switch, if necessary, you can test it using an Ohmmeter to ensure that it has good electrical continuity through the switch when it is operated and not that it has a resistance value which may prevent the lamp from operating. Remove the fuse for the dome light before removing the switch to prevent blowing the fuse accidentally when removing the switch.
