This happened a few times to me.  The contact becomes oxidized and stops 
conducting.  Instead of taking the switch out, just push the switch in with 
your finger and let it snap back out.  Doing this a couple of times should 
knock through the oxidation and the dome light should work again.  Save the 
hassle of R & R.  Permanent fix is to remove the switch and use an electrical 
grease to prevent further oxidation.
HTH.
