Like the courtesy lights, and the light behind the sunroof.

Is it a fuse I didn't check yet but Ill check in the morning

If everything else works it's prob the fuse. On the left side of the steering wheel, there's a fuse something like "Int Ill" (Interior Illumination). Check that first.

Or there's one called "Room Light." I don't remember exactly. But either way, it's a fuse near the steering wheel.

Check F26 7.5 AMP fuse. I think it's at the bottom of the center row of fuses under the dash.

Yeah, check all of the bulbs and make sure they aren't burnt out too. If it were just the courtesy lights, then I would also say to try and replace the window switches (if bulbs and fuses are ok)

lol, i have just one light out.. i assume its known as the courtesy. the light on the door panel.. the only one that doesn't work is the pass side. its not the bulb and i dont see a fuse thats only for it. the F26 i think controlls the dome and the door lights all together.

Very likely the window switch, esp since it's only one side. For some reason, a resistor or something in it could be blown and the courtesy light won't turn on; even though the window and everything else works for the switch. Both sides of mine wasn't working for a long time and I was iffy about buying the window switches used...but it fixed it.

please explain more of the switch? the contact switch on the body? see if i open the pass side the driver's door and dome light turns on. I checked and i didn't get any voltage going to the 194 bulb what so ever. i tested the driver side and it turns on the driver and dome.

everything works great as of now. the light barely bothers me but once in a while, it gets me mad since i know it should be working.

I have no idea what part of the window switch that makes the door light not come on.
Check the bulb from the passenger, and put it into the drivers side first to see if the bulb works (or put the driver's side light to the passengers side door and check if it'll light up).

It can't be my window switchs because they light up just fine.

Yeah, my window leds light up fine, but my courtesy, dome, and map lights dont work. All the bulbs are relatively new and are not burnt out.
