Does your key ring light light up when you open the door?

I think you fried your BCM in your dashboard behind the CD Player. I had the same problem with the dome light and key ring light. Try replacing the bulb in the key ring to verify first.

Check your door switches. I had one got bad. $10 later it was working again. Easy fix.

I bought mine from someone on here for $25 shipped. Keep in mind it's a $900 dealer part. But if your key ring light is new, it has to be your BCM. I fawked mine up when I crossed the positive and negative of the key ring light. Brought it to the dealer, they told me it was the BCM.

Body Control Module. There are many located in your car. It's basically any black box with a bunch of electronic pieces and switches in it that control areas of the car. The one that ManualMaxima needs replaced is behind the CD player.
