Default 1995 Suburban interior lights issue

OK, here's my problem. If I open either of the front doors, the interior lights do not come one. If you open any other door other than the front two doors, the interior lights operate as expected. So I thought it was the door jamb switch, but the switch looks fine, and when I have the key in the ignition with the door open, the buzzer sounds, if I close the door, the buzzer stops, on both front doors, so that would suggest that those switches are fine. Is there a different switch that triggers the interior lights on the front two doors than on the rest? And if so, where is that switch located. I have also seen this issue on a 96 extended cab pickup and a 96 suburban. Same exact symptoms. Any ideas on what else to check at this point?

Thanks.

There may not be another switch BUT there may be another wire... I'd physically check the switch where the wires attach as well as where they pass through the door...

Everything looks good. I went ahead and ordered two more door jamb switches just so that I can eliminate that possibility. I will repost after I get them installed.
