My problem is solved. there was a relay that I found in the glove box that needed to be plugged into position 13 in the fuse box located under the steering colum. I dont know why the person before me took the relay out but everything is working fine. and like you said i did have to wiggle the dimmer switch to get the front map lights to come on. when I opened the door every light except those two came on and as soon as I touched the dimmer switch they flickered to life. and now they have been comeing on every time I open my door. the passenger door plunger that tells the car to turn on the dome lights does not come out far enough to turn on the lights, i have to wiggle it to get the lights to come on.
THANKS FOR THE REPLYS MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!!!
