Electrical Issue

Hey guys!! I need some assistance...hopefully I can get it. Electrical is not my thing, but my cabin lights have the manual switches for secondary lights (reading, etc.) they all of a sudden stopped working. Can you give me some insight as to why this could happen? I checked the fuses but found no defects.

Try swapping relays in the fuse panel.

Thanx DSMHH. I didn't think relay fuse would be an issue since the power of the side lights is fed off a switch that runs off the same metal panel. I will look into it though. Would love for it to be as simple as that!!
