Default Door open & Lighting problem

So, I recently discovered that my Dome lights don't come on when I open the doors (yes the switch is set properly), and that my fogs/headlights don't turn off when the door is opened & key out of the ignition.

Recently, I have:
Replaced a 15A fuse that burned out (Cig Lighter)
Replaced HVAC due to LCD break
Swapped LED's on other components.

Where may the problem be and how can I fix it?

might that be the sensor that detects if the door is open or closed?

I was thinking of a basic problem solver: disconnect the battery.


ADDITIONALLY:
I screwed up the Pass. Side Window controls, which are currently inoperable.

that happens everytime you disconnect the battery, you just have to reset them by holding down the passenger side window switch and such.

ok! Thank you!!!

I thought that it was more complicated than that, and the reset with the windows didn't even cross my mind. I'll give it a shot.

So I tried resetting the windows, and that did not work. Does anybody have another recommendation for how to make the lights go off when the door is opened again?

do your dome lights work when you put them on? if not they might need to be replaced.....i cant really think of why they wouldnt come on...

what have you recently done that you think might have caused it...? or did it just happen?

My dome lights work with the switch, but won't come on when i open the doors... also, my headlights and fogs won't turn off either.

Recently, I have done LED swap on driver door, gauges, HVAC (which was replaced with a used 09' because I broke mine), and currently the pass. window controls aren't working.
I also blew the cig. lighter fuse, but it is replaced now and they still don't work.

=/ I appreciate any help.

Just curious....Did you remove some plug thats wired to the door? Cuz I had the same problem but i remember i somehow, dont remember for what, removed that little plug and I couldnt figure it out. Then i desided to remove the rear driver side pannel and there it was, an unplugged thingy lol. Let me know if that does the trick

I have no idea what caused it. Maybe it was bored with itself. and wanted to ____ me off. Anyway, it randomly started working again.

I appreciate all of your suggestions though!
