When i open either of my doors none of the interior lights come on... the little lights under were your feet go... but when i open the hatch they all come on ?? were should i start to look, cause im not to familiar with the electrical system ?:mad:
 
Check for stuck plungers on the door pillar/jamb. when the plungers are compressed they are in the off position and vise versa.
 
Same happened to me. Tell me, does the door ajar ringing noise go on when your key is in the ignition?
If it doesn't go look at your fuse box under the hood, there should be something about radio/interior lights if I can recall, I had to replace both fuses and problem was solved.
 
More than likely your Door triggers went out. I happend to me as well. Look in the door jam, towards the back of the car you'll see a little rubber plunger/button. that's your trigger. Push it in and let it out a few times to see if it does anything. If it doesn't you can replace them, they're not very expensive. You'll have to go to the dealer, or get some aftermarket ones. they work just as well.
 
Machv sells them for pretty cheap in their oem/maintenance section. But i imagine they wouldn't be much more expensive at a dealer.

You seriousy had to ask about this though? You couldn't figure out the door switches were bad on your own?
