Interior lights problem
When opening my front passenger door, the interior lights do not go on. All other doors trigger the lights properly. Can someone point me in the right direction for this problem?

Skyline, sounds like a bad door switch. I would look into the wiring on the hinge side of the door to make sure there is no water or corrosion in that plug.

Isn't it part of the latch? I agree, check wiring from door to body. You can remove 2 screws there and pull it out some.
