As the tittle states, the dome light in my AR is not turning on when I open my drivers door. The light comes on however with the other 3 doors upon opening. Any help is appreciated.

It’s probably the micro switch that is on the latch mechanism.

Is the puddle light and or foot well light coming on? does it show the door open in the cluster?
If none of those are working its the microswitch like the post above noted

No puddle light, no door open in the cluster.. I couldn't find "micro switch" on ECS, anyone got a part # handy?

It is not a separate part from Audi. You either need to replace the whole latch or search on ebay for the micro switches.. they are left right specific and you might want to just order all 4 and have them ready.
People here have had good luck with the chinese latch assemblies so that is a little more than just the switch but much easier to swap in and out. I just got one for a customer (B6 passat) and it was crap had to return it so not sure I'd personally endorse them.

It could also be the wiring that goes between the door and body, the wires can break where they go into the rubber boot.
