Interior Lights Out

All the interior lights no longer work when you open the doors or hit the remote switch. Dash and various accessories, fan, etc are all normal, but no lights.

I have pulled and eyeballed every fuse (including the large box under the hood and the small one in the passenger footwell). No joy.

Is there a third fusebox I'm missing? Or am I looking at a relay problem of some kind?

The car just had its ETCM (electronic transmission control module) replaced about a month ago, though the lights were working up until about a week ago, so I don't necessarily see a link there. (The diagnosis and advice I received on this site in regard to the transmission was dead on, by the way).

Thanks for anyone who can help!

You don't say what car you have. However, as basic as this seems, are you sure you didn't press
the auto switch by accident (just did this on my car)

Its an ML500, 2002 vintage. Sorry, I'm used to my profile appearing - guess its gone away.

I checked the auto switch, but I'll check again - my wife needed the truck in the middle of my checking, and if she hit it during that interruption it would be just my sort of luck.
