The dome light did come on, but you can use it as a troubleshooting step or indicator as Ultra told me. The windows being stuck could be caused by a few issues, one widely known/documented is due to weather.
We haven't had an icy morning in a couple of months here in the PNW (at least in Seattle). So in my particular case, I was very confident in ruling that cause out.
As always, your mileage may vary.

Ok, so not a short but an open. This is a clever little assembly. The screw has a shoulder so it bottoms into the metal switch body and protects the connection from the environment with a precise mate to the formed rubber gasket. Unfortunately it's not a perfect world. In this case, the shoulder bit into the rubber and took some along for the ride as the screw was tightened. Even though the screw was tight, there was a tiny sliver of rubber compressed between the mating surfaces that created an intermittent connection.
I don't think the photos captured it. The tiny shards of rubber had already fallen off of the screw by the time we thought to document the issue.
