Do the door lights turn on? How did you try it? You should try them at night (when it is dark) and open the door.

If you are persistant, you can find a "convenience lighting" menu in the FSS display. I honestly cannot tell you the steps because I think mine has a mind of its own. I just keep toggling between the menus and eventually it shows up. You can control the puddle lights and the interior " halo" lights. Perhaps someone more computer literate than I can off offer better help. If not there is always the thousand page owner's manual.
