Question Dome lights don't come on when I open the door

My dome interior lights have quit coming on when I open the door. I can turn them on and off individually just not when the door opens. I've looked through all of the fuse listings and can't find anything that would refer to something like this. The radio also doesn't stay on after I turn off the car like it used to. About a month or so ago it just quit working. Any ideas?
Thanks

Sounds like the processor that handles these routines thinks the doors are open.

Re: Re: Dome lights don't come on when I open the door

on ypur bonneville there is an fuse box on the passenger side under the dashboard.You will have to remove the black covering under there where the heating core is . The fuses for the doors, foglights and domelights are located there. If you have any more questions please email me @ [email protected]

Well, it sounds as if it is not a blown fuse if you have local control of the lights. The module that controls the courtesy light feature may be faulty. What year & trim level do you have?

Im having the same problem, my interior courtesy lamps wont come on when I open the door. A bought this car a few days ago and the dealer "fixed" this once already. I beleive the lights use a relay or somethig but this should not keep happening. Could it be he replaced the relay with a wrong type. It worked for a few days then went back out. I cant keep getting new relay or fuses put in for this thing

As Mark says, knowing the year and trim level would be helpful
