Default Drivers door switch failure?

04 F150 Lariat,
when I open the drivers door the radio does not go off, the interior light does not come on either.
The passenger door will turn radio off and light the interior light.
Im assuming its a drivers door switch, I'm just not sure where it is located.
Anybody know where it is at?

We used to replace hundreds of those switches a week at the dealer (not an easy job)
I say "used to" because we found WD 40 worked better, and we had less rechecks
So, spray a bunch of WD 40 into the latch where the striker hits
Then shut and open the door a few times and recheck the light operation
Generally, it fixes them immediately
Good luck
