That sounds a bit different but it might still be possible. When the microswitches break, you end up having to open other doors to stop the alarm from tripping, and when my driver's for switch went, my driver's side rear door lock wasn't working properly either, but I can't remember really having issues with the interior lights or the alarm tripping, so something must have still been working.
It's reminded me I really have to get that door sorted - the lock doesn't work properly and the window regulator isn't attached to the door skin, so I might take it all out to replace that and re-solder the switches.
