Try testing or replacing the switches in the door jams. They can go bad and cause the same symptom.

The bulb fixture on the roof has several different positions. One should allow the light to come on when the door is opened. I have replaced a few of these fixtures. The contact points within the fixture are not the best in the world. You can remove the fixture, allowing it to dangle, then check each position with a 12 volt test light or multi-meter to see if the problem is the switch or power getting to it.
