Default Dome light stopped working

Anyone have an issue where the dome light switch that goes from auto to on etc doesn't doing anything but if you push the light buttons they interior lights then come on?

That's what is weird the bulbs work fine if you push the buttons to manually turn them on. But the switch that goes right n left does nothing, does that make sense?

There is no button for the dome light, just the switch. The buttons you are probably referring to are for the map lights, which don't come on when you open the door. Pop off the plastic cover and you'll find both map lights, plus the center dome light which may have burned out.
