Dome light 1997

Dome light in recently acquired 1997 not working. Checked fixture--it works with power to it from another source. Checking voltage at plug in car I get 6 volts with doors closed (center appears to be +, each side appears to be -, switched and unswitched). With either door open I get nothing.

Read elsewhere that door handle assemblies are the switching mechanism for the "door open" setting for the light, allegedly regulating the negative. So wondering if either of those is bad. Also wondering what fuse controls this light--not able to figure that out. Also wondering about ignition switch--maybe that's where the + originates and have read about some issues there.

Anybody else run down this problem? It's dark in here at night!
