Ok, just had timing belt, balance shaft belt, and the pulleys and tensioner to go with them, AC/Alt/Power Steering belts, and alternator replaced. The next day i get into car and notice that my Door Sensor lights dont work(i assume they didnt work when i first got car back but didnt pay any attention) My headlights, dash lights(when headlights and stuff turned on) work, gauges and everything they all work, but when i open my doors and stuff the dome lights and lights that usually come on when u open ## doors and trunk dont work. So just wondering if theres a certain fuse or wire(s) somewhere i could check or if anyone else has any idea what could be wrong?

Heres a few things that have just been bugging me and been wanting to know the answers too for a while so finally took some pics to see wut u guys think, on my BOV i got the greddy type s i believe and with my old intake i had like 3 hoses hooked up to it, a hose from the bottom pipe of my BOV, a hose from my valve cover, and this other hose that i dont know where its coming from but some air canister looking thing from almost underneath my battery(i know nothing hardly nothing bout this mechanics stuff so if its something extremely obvious then sorry =( And also a few other things i found with open outlets that i dont know wut are or use to be plugged or used but now arent and dont know if i should leave them alone, plug them up, or hooked them to something so heres the pics and descriptions:

The BOV outlet(use to be routed back into my old intake pipe)

First of all, that small hose routes into the intake manifold, I don't think that that second nipple on the Greddy BOV is used on DSMs, and the hole that was routed from the intake manifold to the stock BCS needs to be plugged. Second, the oil breather just keeps oil sludge from building up in your intake pipe/turbo inlet, but it pretty much breaks every emissions law known to man. And, that third line which seems to go into a black hole goes into a charcoal canister, for emissions reasons.

You can just buy a small inline fuel filter at walmart or something. It will filter out the oil and let the air keep going.
 
You can also change your avatar so it complies with the site rules.

Avatars should consist of a photo of your DSM. If you don't own a DSM or don't have a photo of your DSM to use, please do not use the feature. The photo should be 170 pixels wide. If it is not that size, it may not display correctly. Please, no photos with people posing with your car.

sorry, that was a typo, I didn't not mean intake manifold, I meant intake pipe. It is small in diameter, and it is the only one towards the front of the car. It needs to be plugged on the pipe.
 
That all looks pretty good to me. You don't need the sensors on the firewall they are for the EGR which is probablly blocked anyway. THe stock boost controller is not needed when you have an aftermarket one. The bottom nipple should be unhooked. The PCV vent behind the motor is ok as well. All my cars run that way, two thumbs up there...

Thx, and thanks to everyone else too, all that had been bugging me for a while and glad to clear it all up.
