Interior Light Problem

Hey All,
I have an interesting problem with my 2006 Mazda5.
When I open any door the dome light over the second row comes on as expected but the map lights in the front row do not.
If you press the button for each of the map lights they also come on as expected so the problem is not the bulbs.
I've double-checked that the switch in the front row is set to "door" although for the sake of argument I've tried the other position as well.
Any suggestions?
 
I had a similar issue after tapping wires in the maplights for some other interior lights/puddle lights under my mirrors. I ended up wrapping a zip tie around the wires at the plug into the back of the maplights, and hooking it over the frame of the mount. For some reason the ground was wonky, and with a little downward pressure on the wires it fixed itself.
