clean connectors, with sand paper to bare metal and make sure they stick to bulbs n sockets bend them so they stick more tight to bulbs, if still doesn't work i would use multimeter to determine if there is voltage in harness, if not problem somewhere else...

The switch on the dome light can get the contacts tarnished and the light wont work. Just slide the switch back and forth a dozen times or two and see if that helps.

I'm having the same problem if anyone has any advice, I've ruled out the usual suspects - corrosion, bulbs etc - can't seem to figure it out.
