Default Interior Lights not working

1994 Corvette. When opening the doors or hatch, none of the lights go on. Could this be the result of a fuse? If so where can I find the fuse panel and which one is for the interior lights. What would be the next thing to look for if the fuse is fine? Also, the lights for the hood are not working as well.

Look at the courtesy fuse in the fuse panel. If that's good, try turning on the interior lights using the headlight switch (turn it to turn them on). If that works then it's likely the 'interior lights delay relay' (I think that's the proper name). If it's like mine (which I also need to change one of these days) it's taped to the wiring harness somewhere near the fuse panel inside the dash.

From what I've read, that relay can burn out if the doors are left open a lot with the fuse in.

Get yourself an owners manual from here:

https://my.gm.com/home

You DO NOT need to establish an account (user ID etc) to get it. Fuse locations etc are contained.

There's multiple interior fuses. The underhood light fuse for a '94 I believe is an in-line near the LH SM/Cornering light. There's multiple "NEXT" if the fuses are in fact OK. You need to be maybe somewhat more specific as to when etc.

Fuse or ealay are your most likely options, but does the door ajar indicator come on when the door is opened. If not - You might also check the door switch.
