Default Good troubleshooters please read.... (interior light questions/alarm/fuses)

none of my interior lights work even when using the manual on switches. the doors do not light up when doors open, footwell lights do not light up.
blinkers on outside of car when armed/disarmed do not light up. trunk lights do not turn on.
car arms and disarms fine, horn sounds, interior sensors still work.

I've checked all the fuses. no DTCs of any kind on all the modules.

anyone have a clue? suggestions? I'll answer any and all your mod questions if you figure this out. =)

Perhaps it's LED overload

Default My best guess is that one of your door switches is stuck or shorted, and the car thinks a door is..

open. Does not explain why the switches wont operate the lights though... Maybe the power to the dome light is bad?
