Did you replace the bulb itself? Is there corrosion on the contacts?

I would suspect a communication problem with the BCM and the interior light system.

The BCM is the body control module, in Ford language , the GEM, generic electronic module. The module is a dealer item, not cheap, but you should have it checked out before spending any money because it could also be a bad connection between the systems that communicate with one another , power to or ground connection.
