Default Dome light won't come on

When any door open, the light doesn't come on. Manual on work. Door chime when key is inside so that trigger work but no light. Where to begin?

the interior light diagram shows 3 door controlled lights: cargo lamp, front interior/map and rear interior/map.


the lights have all have 3 wires; grd, manual power and door actuated power. we know the grd and manual power work, as the manual switch powers the light. if all 3 lights do not work in the door switch position, you need to check for power out of smart junction box located behind the left side of the dash. if no power is present on pin 21 orange/white wire with the door open...the module may be bad. if there is power, you have a broken wire somewhere between the module and splice 906 of the interior lamp harness.


if only 1`of the 3 lights is not working, remove the connector to this light and check for power on the orange white wire; door must be open. if you have power, the light switch is bad. if no power, there is a open wire on the branch of the orange/white wire that feeds the light.

I haven't had time to look into it deeper.
Will one door turn on all dome light or front door for front dome light. Sliding door for rear dome light?
