Interior Lighting

Ok, here's a new one. The vanity mirror on the driver's side does not work. Also the two front passenger map lights will not turn on unless i roll the dial on lighting panel and then all the interior lights come on. Here's the kicker, once the dial is rolled up and the interior lights are on, I can then turn on or off the front passenger map lights.

Any suggestions?

By "roll the dial" are you referring to the dimmer for the dash lights next to the headlight switch? Driver's vanity mirror could just be a blown bulb.

Yup, the dimmer. As far as the bulb being blown, i swapped the bulbs from driver side and passenger side. I can't find a blown fuse. Besides, Im sure I would find something else not powered because of a blown fuse. Like, my door key pad...

Are your running board lights working correctly when the dimmer switch is not rolled all the way over? Again, when the dimmer is not all the way over and with the engine running; when you open a door do you get a door ajar light on the dash?
