need a some electrical help driver side door

I took my door panel off the other day i unplugged the window control switch, then i got my test light and started testing the pins for power, i found power at the solid orange wire, i was going to tap into that wire for something that i was going to hookup but i changed my mind. so to make a long story short i put it back together and now none of the lights on my control switch work, all the functions work, windows, door locks, power mirrors and memory seats, JUST NO LIGHTS...

i have no clue where to start looking please help that is really driving me nuts.

thanks for any help Anthony

Here's the wiring diagram. Looks like the gray wire for the illumination function. Did you bend a pin on the door switch?

None of the pins got bent, is there a fuse for that particular light function?

You should have 12 v on the orange wire going to the lamps. The orange or gray wire, one or the other is not making connection to your door switch panel.
