The interior lights have a different sensor.

if it is Sunny out and you turn on the headlights, the interior lights wont come on.

All buttons light up on the inside.

Check fuses under the hood. You may have a fuse out. It happened to me!

Under the hood:
1st row(nearest to you)
2nd fuse from the right or
3rd fuse from the left,
10 amp in the #8 position.
The little diagram says parking lamp.

I didn't realize that my parking lamps were also out at the time as I was focused on the interior control lighting not working.
