Do you have a little spring loaded "stem" that comes out when the door opens? You should, is it just busted stuck or what?

If the lights come on with the drivers door but not the passengers door you might have a short or a bad wire somewhere. Or the spring loaded switch might be bad. It is kind of a crappy problem cause it could be several things that are not the easiest to check. I am not sure if the drivers and pass doors use the same fuse. You might want to check that also.'

If your car is anything like mine, it's one of the 130,000 shorts in the wiring....
