My courtesy lights, ignition key light, and rear cigar lighters arent working, ive replaced the fuse and everything else on that cavity works properly, ive also replaced the drivers door jamb switch, still nothing, any advice ?
I don't have specific advice, but generally I would suspect that at some point there is a wiring harness connection somewhere which isn't making good contact. Do you have a wiring diagram? That would help greatly in validating that theory.

Thanks John, i've visually looked things over under the dash and don't see anything amiss. The cigar lighter in dash works as well as the dash lights and dome light.
I'v had a few problemz that turned out to be a wire going to the back uv the fuze block. On my car therez a spring tab that keeps it in plase, so I gess they expected it to be aksessed regularly.
Also a chans the fuze you put in iz bad. They can look fine, so check it with an ohmeter or a battery & bulb.

There is a problem (most likely corrosion) in the "connection" going to these items.

So I found the courtesy light problem with a connector after I replaced a blown fuse in another connector. I traced the ignition light problem down to an empty female connector with two yellow and one purple wires that was hot. I checked the wiring diagram and discovered that the time delay relay was supposed to go there but was missing. I found an nos relay on e at and will get it soon, I'm hopeful that it will work
