Why would the dome light in a 1996 Dodge Neon come on when the headlight switch is used but not when the doors are open?

The door jamb switch normally completes the power circuit to the dome lamp when the door is open. When the door is closed the switch opens the circuit, removing power from the dome light. If the switch is dirty, defective, stuck pushed in, or disconnected from the wiring, when the door is open the switch does not close the circuit and the dome light remains off as if the door is still closed. The headlight switch provides an "alternate path" to close the same circuit and allow power to the dome light. I had the same problem on a 1997 Chevy C1500 pickup truck.

This is from a relay under the dash that turns your dome light on. More than likely, you are missing a rubber pad in one of your doors that pushes up against the switch to turn your dome light on. The front doors have 2, one is for the headlight warning. Check all the doors and check for a loose switch also.
