I had the exact opposite problem.

In my ‘65 GTO when opening “only” the RH door the dome / console light would not come on.
I fussed with this issue for days until I realized the door jam switch was faulty.
When I pressed or wiggled that RH switch the lights would come on. When I let go of the switch the lights go off.
Some internal issue with just that RH switch.
