ellectrical issue
heres the deal... the window switch lights work. the dash, radio, hvac, and traction control button lights all work. the rear view mirror lights work when i push the buttons to turn them on. but when i open the doors or trunk (yes, in the dark), the 2 lights under the dash, the 2 lights in the mirror, and the 2 lights in the trunk dont light up. blown fuse? i think i shorted something when i was swapping out the light under the passenger side dash 
edit: i cant spell haha. how do u edit the post title?

i couldn't find which fuse it is in the owner's manual. the thing i dont get is if it's the fuse, why do the map lights turn on when i press the button, but not when i open the door?

Sounds to me as if the "door open" or entry switch is bad.
Get in, close all doors, start car, and open the driver door. Does the display say "Door open" or "Door Ajar" ?
if not, my bet is the door open / entry switch is bad.

HEY, im not electrically challenged 
haha. It was the fuse. For some reason it was labeled as "diagnostic" in the owner's manual. Fuse 29 in the passenger foot well, by the way.

I didn't mean to imply you are electrically challenged carnut101, I'm admitting that I am.
