Interior Lighting Question---Fuse maybe?

Just picked up my 2003 CL500. I noticed that when I open the doors, the interior lights do not come on, nor do the lights at the base of the door. The rocker switch on the roof is correct also, but no lights.

When using the rocker switch, I can get the rear interior lights to come on manually, and can manually get the lights that are mounted within the rear view mirror to come on. But I can get anything to happen from opening the doors. I also have ensured that the menu within comand lists a delay in the shutoff.

So do you think this is a fuse? If so, which fuse, and which fuse box?

I looked on page 112 of the owner's manual for my 2003 CL500. It's possible that the rocker switch was accidentially pressed which would deactivate automatic lighting when the door is opened or the key is removed. Press the rocker switch in the center-see if that helps.
