Default Interior light help

Well this is not the common electric problem…The lights in my interior wont light up when my driver’s door is open, but will for any of the other doors in the car.

Also the light under the driver’s side dash, OR the red light on the driver side door wont light up either. Is there a fuse that controls these lights that may be blown??

BTW i already changed the bulbs so a blown bulb is not the problem.

So what you saying is, is that you open any door and the lights come on bar the drivers side and door red light?

If so then I would change the bulbs and see if that is the problem first.

ok all the door red lights work EXCEPT the drivers door.

If i open the passenger door, the lights in the car will come on and the light under the passenger side dash.

If i open any of the back doors the interior lights will come on

If i open the driver door NOTHIN comes on NOT even the red light on the drivers door, or under the dash

i already switched out the bulbs (buy moving them) and they work...so something else must be the problem, any ideas?

sounds like its just not sencing that the door is open to me... like when the door opens it opens the circuit telling the car that the door is open and thus turns on the lights for the driver... sounds like that to me
