Just needs to be cleaned! The contacts in the switch built up a bit of corrosion making poor/no connection, dissabling it.

Why buy a new one $$$ when you can just clean it.

Good to know thanks for the info! That's one thing I wanna try and dive into in the next couple weeks as the ski season dies down and I'm not working crazy amounts of hours.

The whole repair only took approx. 30 min. Just be extremely cautious and take your time when popping those backing plates off. The way they're glued on can cause them to break easily. I just used a razor knife and a mini screwdriver to work my way around prying them loose. A heat gun may work to help loosen up the glue too?

I appreciate @iamdub! When I couldn't find any info on this I figured someone else may come across this issue and be completely lost. I like to pitch in when I can and if I can help save someone a headache, some time and money while doing so then mission accomplished!

It's highly likely as this is a common problem. Your efforts aren't in vain!

Excellent write up. I figured it would take way longer than 30 minutes!

Been having the same problem with my passenger door, but this is the third one I've installed, and I noticed that the LED bulb that I just recently installed in the door is burnt out as well. Could these be related?

Absolutely, the reason is, if the mini wedge switch in that passenger door latch assembly doesn't send a signal to the pcm saying "hey, I'm open!" Then the pcm won't know to supply the lighting circuit a ground to illuminate the courtesy lamp... or turn the radio off or sound the door ajar warning etc.

EDIT: No offense, but are you sure the bulb itself is burned out? Have you tried supplying that bulb power or tried it in another socket to test the bulb?
