Interior light question.

I searched and couldn't find this specific question answered.
Why won't my interior lights come on when any of the back 2 doors are open, or the rear barn door? They only come on when the front two are opened.

Your door switches are probably shot, or the wire for the switches is cut somewhere

Maybe it's a module problem if there is one, for the locks/dome light switches. Sounds like too much for wire problem for all of those not to trigger? Check schematic if can source 1. Good luck let us know.

Kinda funny, mine has the opposite problem. Barn doors shut, lights stay on and "door open" light lit. An annoying, but intermittant problem, seems like lately its becoming worse.
Anybody know where the switch is? I looked and its not apparent, I'm guessing its built into the latch?

Hit the latches with a lubricant spray. The switches are installed inside the latches. This is a common problem that gets fixed with the spay into the latches, and cycle open and closed a few times.

Sounds like the someone could have added a switch to shut those lights off or cut wires. All the lights coming on when you open the doors while travelling at night and try to keeps kids still sleeping gets annoying, and I'm still working on that kind on fix for mine. Or the door ajar switches might be shot.
