Default Issues with interior lights

Recently, my interior lights, door chime, and key chime have all stopped working. I cannot turn the lights on by switch or button, nor will they come on when my door is open. Furthermore, neither my open door chime or my key-in-ignition chime work. My headlight on chime does. Any ideas? Thanks

will they come on when you hit the unlock on your Keyless entry?

It sounds like its the KEM (Keyless Entry Module) as it controls both the chime and the lights. That's the best I can think of without looking at a diagram (which I can do tomorrow if this isn't resolved)

Thanks for the suggestion. KEM may have a part in it; however, I don't understand why the dome lights will not function at all, regardless of switch position, or button. They just don't work period. I'll look into the KEM tomorrow morning.

Does either door opening cause the door ajar light to come on? What about the light in the trunk?

Well if the trunk light comes on but not the indicators (door ajar), then both bulbs are blown most likely. If the trunk light is out then fuse 24, 7.5A under dash is blown

Bought new bulbs, and nothing. Trunk light is on, so the 7.5 interior fuse is good. I'm stumped. It's got to be a short somewhere, I just can't figure out where.

So did you have the door ajar indicators? Check the connection going to the dome light. I left the wiring diagram at work (go figure) but I don't remember where else the problem could have been. What you have is an Open circuit, a short would cause either blown fuses or other electrical devices to be turning on/off when they shouldn't be.
