Fuse problem...Help!

None of my interior lights work, neither does my key fob. I can't unlock all the doors unless the car is on. Everything else is normal that I know of. I have searched through all of the fuses by the driver's left knee, but can't find anything wrong. Has this happend to anyone before/ any more suggestions on where to look?

Look in the engine bay. There's a fuse block on the driver's side. Mine blew due to a bad side marker lightbulb.

you need to do a continuity test on them. I think mine was linked to my fogs or turn signal. Can't remember now.

Update: I just realized that the "door ajar" light is dim when everything is closed. If a door is open its on like normal, but when u close the door it doesnt go all the way off.
Has anyone ever had this to happen to them?

I have two problems with taking it in. #1 Dealers charge way too much for their "service" #2 the dealer here....well, I know more....much more than they do.

Everything is working!! I had a fuse that was shorting out on me. One of the two prongs was not getting a good connection. My other problem was I was trying to do everything in the rain/dark. The rain parted and I changed out the fuses, now everything is back to normal.
